A team headed by the Medical University of Vienna examined cancer prevalence and screening/prevention awareness among people who are experiencing homelessness in four European countries. The team proposed approaches for the development of a prevention program using the results. The study was published in eClinicalMedicine.
According to a recent report, “The Cancer Paradox: Oncologists’ Perspectives on Barriers to Advanced Cancer Care and Recurrence Monitoring,” oncologists believe they are seeing more and more patients with advanced cancers, and that screening barriers are the leading reason why. They worry that current tests may not catch cancer recurrence early enough.
