“…Previous studies have suggested several barriers for Asian Americans to screening cancers, including language barriers 46 and neighborhood environment. 47 Further intervention programs addressing these barriers should be implemented to mitigate health disparities among Asian Americans. Culturally tailored health education workshops, individual shared decision-making process with physicians, and easily accessed medical translation services should be provided.…”

Purpose This study aims 1) to investigate recent cancer screening rates among Asian Americans and 2) to test the relationship between race/ethnicity and cancer screening rates. Methods This is a cross-sectional secondary data analysis study using data from the 2019 National Health Interview Survey. The screening rates of prostate cancer, colorectal cancer, cervical cancer, and breast cancer among non-Hispanic (NH) Asian Americans, Hispanics, NH Whites, NH African Americans, and NH American Indian and Alaska Natives (AIAN) were analyzed in July 2022. The variables were recoded and analyzed using descriptive analysis and chi-square test. The SPSS version 27 software was used. Results Descriptive analysis showed a general low screening rate of cancers among Asian Americans, which ranged from 40.5% to 67.5%. The chi-square test suggested significant associations between race/ethnicity and the screening rates of colorectal cancer ( P = .002), cervical cancer ( P < .01), and breast cancer ( P = .021), but not the prostate cancer ( P = .472). Conclusion Necessary intervention programs should be designed to increase the uptake rates of cancer screening among Asian Americans.

“…Multidisciplinary treatment (MDT) means that the medical staff coming from different subjects provide patients with independent suggestions about diagnosis and treatment, implement efficient medical services, and formulate the best treatment plans with individual differences according to patients' condition based on the support of data system. In 2016, the National Family Planning Commission in China pointed out that the oncology department should actively implement the treatment mode of single disease and multiple subjects [ 11 ]. However, the plan of nutrition support team under the MDT mode has not been implemented due to the practical factors.…”

Objective. To explore the application value of the nutrition support team in chemotherapy period of colon cancer based on the internet multidisciplinary treatment mode. Methods. For the method of retrospective study, 90 patients with colon cancer admitted to our hospital from August 2018 to August 2020 were selected as the study subjects. They were equally divided into the experimental group ( n = 45 ) and the control group ( n = 45 ) according to the order of initials and the method of parity group. The control group was given conventional nutrition support, and the experimental group was given the nutrition support under the internet multidisciplinary treatment mode. The serum tumor marker levels (CEA and CA19-9), immune function indexes, nutrition indicators, and the incidence of adverse reactions were compared between the two groups before and after intervention. Results. The serum tumor marker levels in the experimental group after intervention were significantly lower than those in the control group ( P < 0.001 ). The immune function indexes in the experimental group after intervention were significantly better than those in the control group ( P < 0.001 ). The nutrition indicators in the experimental group after intervention were significantly better than those in the control group ( P < 0.001 ). The incidence of gastrointestinal adverse reactions above grade 2 in the experimental group was significantly lower than that in the control group ( P < 0.05 ). There were 20 patients with myelosuppression, 2 patients with neurotoxicity, and 1 patient with hand and foot syndrome in the experimental group, while 22 patients with myelosuppression, 4 patients with neurotoxicity, and 2 patients with hand and foot syndrome in the control group, with no significant difference in the incidence of adverse reactions between the two groups ( P > 0.05 ). Conclusion. The nutrition support team under the internet multidisciplinary treatment mode can improve the immune function of chemotherapy patients with colon cancer and enhance their nutritional level, thereby reducing the incidence of adverse reactions and improving the chemotherapy effects.
