Mashup Score: 7Cancer Centers Could Help Native Communities Reduce Radon Exposure Leading to Lung Cancer - 2 month(s) ago
Radon testing and mitigation can decrease the risk of lung cancer, but racial/ethnic and socioeconomic disparities prevent vulnerable people and communities from accessing these. In a new study conducted in collaboration with the University of Wisconsin – Madison Carbone Cancer Center and a Native community in Wisconsin, community members received radon education, testing, and mitigation free of charge. This new research illustrates the vital role that cancer centers can play in addressing structural

Mashup Score: 23
10530 Background: CRC has an increased burden among Black/African American populations in the United States. Following the COVID-19 pandemic, home-based CRC screening options are being used more frequently. We conducted focus groups to understand the acceptability of stool-based DNA testing for CRC screening in this population. Methods: 10 Focus group sessions were conducted at 2 FQHCs in Milwaukee, WI from 06/22/2023-10/30/2023. Participants were paid $40 for participation. Groups were categorized by gender and age (younger [40-50] vs. older [over 50]). Participants were recruited by fliers and direct text from the FQHC. Eligibility was verified by FQHC staff. Each session was 90 minutes, held at the FQHC, and led by the same facilitator. Participants were given an overview of CRC screening tests and shown a video about stool DNA tests before beginning the focus groups. Thematic analysis was carried out using NVivo. Results: Across 10 groups, there were 79 participants, 32 younger (40

Mashup Score: 23Molecular Targets and Therapies for Ampullary Cancer - 11 month(s) ago
Ampullary carcinomas are rare but increasing in incidence. Ampullary cancers have molecular alterations that guide choice of therapy, particularly in nonresectable cases. These alterations can be more common by subtype (intestinal, pancreaticobiliary, or mixed), and next-generation sequencing is recommended for all patients who cannot undergo surgery. In this article, we review the approach to tissue acquisition and consideration for molecular testing. Common molecular targets of interest in ampullary cancer are also discussed in this review, including HER2/ERBB2, HER3, tumor mutational burden, microsatellite instability, KRAS, and germline BRCA and ATM mutations, along with emerging and rarer alterations.
