TL;DR: Effective sun protection is practiced by less than one-third of U.S. youth, and factors associated with specific sun-protection behaviors included a lower appeal to tanning, a higher perceived benefit of sun protection, and information from family and friends about sun protection.

TL;DR: The results indicate that hot flashes are experienced by a sizable percentage of postmenopausal breast cancer patients as they undergo treatment and appear to have a negative impact upon patient quality of life that may be due, in part, to fatigue and interference with sleep.

TL;DR: Nine prominent lung cancer risk models were applied to a representative sample of the U.S. population and the similarities and differences in the populations of ever-smokers selected for CT lung cancer screening by each model were investigated.
Abstract: Guidelines recommend the use of individualized risk models to refer ever-smokers for lung cancer screening, but the performance of different models in selecting ever-smokers for screening is unknow...

TL;DR: High consumption of cooked processed meats may contribute to prostate cancer risk among Black men in the United States according to Cancer Epidemiol Biomarkers Prev 2006.
Abstract: Previous epidemiologic studies have suggested that intake of red meat may be associated with increased risk of prostate cancer. Few studies, however, have examined these associations by race. We examined intake of red meat, processed meat, and poultry in relation to incident prostate cancer among Black and White men in the Cancer Prevention Study II Nutrition Cohort. Participants in the study completed a detailed questionnaire on diet, medical history, and lifestyle in 1992 to 1993. After excluding men with a history of cancer and incomplete dietary information, 692 Black and 64,856 White men were included in the cohort. During follow-up through August 31, 2001, we documented 85 and 5,028 cases of incident prostate cancer among Black and White men, respectively. Cox proportional hazards models were used to estimate rate ratios (RR) and 95% confidence intervals (95% CI). No measure of meat consumption was associated with risk of prostate cancer among White men. Among Black men, total red meat intake (processed plus unprocessed red meat) was associated with higher risk of prostate cancer (RR, 2.0; 95% CI, 1.0-4.2 for highest versus lowest quartile; P(trend) = 0.05); this increase in risk was mainly due to risk associated with consumption of cooked processed meats (sausages, bacon, and hot dogs; RR, 2.7; 95% CI, 1.3-5.3 for highest versus lowest quartile; P(trend) = 0.008). This study suggests that high consumption of cooked processed meats may contribute to prostate cancer risk among Black men in the United States.
