ACS Releases Long-term Care Guideline for Survivors of Head and Neck Cancer
By Stacy Simon The American Cancer Society has released a new Head and Neck Survivorship Care Guideline to help survivors of head and neck cancer and their primary care providers better manage their long-term care. The guideline addresses cancers of the oral cavity, tongue, lip, pharynx (throat), and larynx (voice box). Recommendations in the guideline may also apply to cancers of the salivary glands, nasal and paranasal sinuses, and nasopharynx.

The 1964 Surgeon General's Report and Americans' Beliefs about Smoking
Half a century ago, on January 11, 1964, the U.S. Surgeon General's office released a landmark report on the health consequences of smoking.

Little is known about the report's impact on American public opinion because all the timely public opinion polls that measured the report's impact were privately commissioned by the tobacco industry and were not made publicly available. A review of these polls shows that the 1964 Surgeon General's report had a l...

Expectations About the Effectiveness of Radiation Therapy Among Patients With Incurable Lung Cancer Palliative and Supportive Care

Abstract C53: Human papillomavirus (HPV) and cervical cancer: Exploring knowledge, attitudes, and cultural taboos among Mexican American families along the Texas-Mexico border
Conclusions: Results uncovered important differences in knowledge and risk beliefs concerning HPV and cervical cancer among Hispanic parents and young women living along the Texas Mexico border. Our findings highlight critical knowledge areas that can be addressed through interventions to overcome barriers to HPV prevention in Hispanic women, as well as to create culturally appropriate prevention messages that may ultimately help reduce disparities in HPV and cervical cancer among Hispanic women along the Texas-Mexico border.Citation Format: Daisy Y.

Stigmatic and Sympathetic Attitudes Toward Cancer Patients Who Smoke: A Qualitative Analysis of an Online Discussion Board Forum
