Cancer Screening Programs That Lead To Successful Outcomes
Many cancers are treatable with early detection and treatment. Promoting cancer screening is an important step to improving health outcomes. Finding successful secondary prevention tools that work to identify and treat populations is the key to a healthy society (Kovner & Knickman, 2011). Over the last 40 years, increased knowledge about how cancers develop has spurred the increase of preventative screenings for cancers that could develop in stages including a period of in situ status.
In 1976, a study on cervical cancer screening programs was published that indicates as early as the 19th century, a chief physician studied the risk between marriage and uterine/breast cancers. In …show more content…
The program was developed to promote client orientated breast and cervical cancer screening to low income African American communities. High quality accessible care that is affordable to the disadvantaged population was a goal of the project. Objectives included educating women and healthcare providers to identify women who would benefit from the cancer screenings. The Morehouse School of Medicine’s Legacy Program provided a grant to develop a successful cancer-screening program (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 2012). Healthcare providers were educated on techniques to identify women who would benefit from cancer …show more content…
portal to analyze why the program is not meeting its goals. By using the state cancer profiles data, NE can key into the areas of need for screening program ("State Cancer Profiles," 2015). The map provided on this portal shows where breast cancer hot spots can be found. Several counties have high annual incidence rates and work should begin in those areas. http://statecancerprofiles.cancer.gov/map/map.withimage.php?31&001&055&00&2&01&0&1&5&0#results
The EWM should also find additional supporters of their program at the national level. The Black Coral program that began in a small community in South Carolina has exceeded their goals through use of evidenced-based research data and support from national organizations. EWM needs to go into the communities to determine how to deliver their message on breast cancer awareness and prevention.
Summary
It appears that programs that go into the communities to spread the message on cancer awareness are the most successful. Educating primary medical providers on screening their clients on a case-by-case basis allows the conversation to start on interventions available. The Task Force recommendation include small media presentations, group and one-on-one education have been recommended through evidence-based research (Community Preventive Services Task Force,
