Community-engaged basic science in an NCI-designated comprehensive cancer center: antioxidants and chemotherapeutic efficacy
ConclusionThese initial findings do not support addition of antioxidant supplementation to improve platinum-based chemotherapeutic efficacy. This study ’s approach can serve as a model of how to bring together the two seemingly discordant areas of basic research and community engagement. (Source: Cancer Causes and Control)

A point-of-care pilot randomized intervention to connect patients with cancer-induced financial toxicity to telehealth financial counseling
ConclusionRecruitment and randomization were feasible, while study retention presented challenges. Nine participants reported good usability and satisfaction with telehealth counseling. Larger-scale trials focused on improving participation, retention, and impact of financial counseling among patients with cancer are justified. (Source: Cancer Causes and Control)

Racial and socioeconomic disparities in survival among women with advanced-stage ovarian cancer who received systemic therapy
ConclusionsAmong women with advanced-stage ovarian cancer who received systemic therapy, NH-Black women experienced poorer survival compared to NH-White women. Future studies should be directed to identify drivers of ovarian cancer disparities, particularly racial differences in treatment response and surveillance. (Source: Cancer Causes and Control)

Traditional Mexican dietary pattern and cancer risk among women of Mexican descent
ConclusionConsumption of a traditional Mexican diet was associated with a significantly lower risk of all-cancer incidence and colorectal cancer. Confirmation of these findings in future studies is important, given the prevalence of colorectal cancer and a growing U.S. population of women of Mexican descent. (Source: Cancer Causes and Control)

What do cancer survivors believe caused their cancer? A secondary analysis of cross-sectional survey data
ConclusionsStudy results illuminate cancer survivors ’ beliefs about varying causes of their cancer diagnosis and identify characteristics of survivors who are more likely to believe certain factors caused their cancer. Results can be used to plan cancer education and risk-reduction campaigns and highlight for whom such initiatives would be most sui table. (Source: Cancer Causes and Control)

Breast and cervical cancer screenings across gender identity: results from the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System before and during the COVID-19 pandemic
ConclusionsScreening noncompliance for breast and cervical cancer was more common among TGD people than cisgender women; while these disparities existed before the COVID-19 pandemic, they were exacerbated during the pandemic. Future work should move beyond descriptive statistics and elucidate underlying causes to inform interventions. (Source: Cancer Causes and Control)

Avoiding lead-time bias by estimating stage-specific proportions of cancer and non-cancer deaths
ConclusionAcross all cancer types, the percentage of patients who went on to die from their cancer was over three times greater when the cancer was diagnosed at stage IV than stages I –II. As mortality patterns are not influenced by lead-time bias, these data suggest that earlier detection is likely to improve outcomes across cancer types, including those currently unscreened.

Lifetime alcohol consumption patterns and young-onset breast cancer by subtype among Non-Hispanic Black and White women in the Young Women ’s Health History Study
ConclusionsOur findings suggest alcohol consumption has a different association with YOBC than postmenopausal breast cancer —lifetime consumption was not linked to increased risk and younger age at alcohol use initiation was associated with a decreased risk of triple-negative YOBC. Future studies on alcohol consumption in YOBC subtypes are warranted. (Source: Cancer Causes and Control)
