Sunless and Indoor Tanning Among U.S. Non-Hispanic White Women Ages 18-49 Years.

The use of indoor UV tanning devices (also known as "indoor tanning") has declined in recent years. Less is known about use of dihydroxyacetone-containing products used for tanning (also known as "sunless tanning"). We analyzed data from the 2015 National Health Interview Survey.

Melanoma Incidence Rates Among Non-Hispanic American Indian/Alaska Native Individuals, 1999-2019.

Importance: Non-Hispanic American Indian/Alaska Native people have the second highest incidence rate of invasive cutaneous melanoma in the US after non-Hispanic White people.

Objective: To examine invasive cutaneous melanoma incidence rates and trends over time among non-Hispanic American Indian/Alaska Native people.

Design, Setting, And Participants: This descriptive, observational cross-sectional study used population-based cancer registry data (US Cancer Statistics AI/AN Incidence Analytic Database) linked to the Indian Health Service administrative database to examine incidence rates by age, sex, region, histology, tumor site, stage, and other demographic and clinical characteristics.

Consumers pay attention to ingredients on the front of a label: an eye tracking study.

Sunscreen is an important part of skin cancer prevention. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) proposed numerous changes to sunscreen labeling including adding active ingredients to the front of a label. The purpose of the study was to identify and describe differences in attention between current label formatting and the proposed label formatting.

Sun protection behavior: health impact, prevalence, correlates and interventions.

Sun protection behavior can reduce skin cancer risk. This paper provides an overview of skin cancer risk and the complex behavioral options for sun protection, along with a narrative review of research on determinants of, and interventions to promote, sun protection. Gaps and opportunities for future research are also outlined.

Making decisions about health information on social media: a mouse-tracking study.

Visual Aids for Sunscreen Application: A mixed methods study.

Background: Consumers routinely underapply sunscreen, and this may be because they misinterpret application quantity directions on sunscreen labels. U.S.

Perceived Usefulness and Recall of Sunscreen Label Information by Consumers.

Importance: In February 2019, the US Food and Drug Administration issued a proposed rule (84 FR 6204), an amendment to the Sunscreen Innovation Act of 2014, that would require listing active ingredients on the principal display panel of sunscreens to allow consumers to "more readily compare products and either select or avoid a given product accordingly."

Objective: To understand consumers' perceived importance of active ingredients in sunscreen and their ability to recall these ingredients when comparing, avoiding, or selecting sunscreen products.

Design, Setting, And Participants: In this qualitative study, participants were recruited from Fors Marsh Group and User Works, Inc consumer panels and interviewed in person in November and December 2019.

The Context of Sunburn Among U.S. Adults: Common Activities and Sun Protection Behaviors.

Introduction: Sunburn increases skin cancer risk and is common among U.S. adults.

Associations between ultraviolet radiation, tree cover and adolescent sunburns.

Background: Sunburn is the strongest risk factor for melanoma and non-melanoma skin cancers. Adolescent sunburns are related to higher risk of developing melanoma later in life. Little is known about the association of sunburns and shade, particularly tree cover, around adolescent homes and schools.

Health Beliefs About UV and Skin Cancer Risk Behaviors.

Our purpose was to examine the beliefs of college students about UV exposure and sunscreen use and their associations with skin cancer risk and protective behaviors in a cloudy climate. The sample was online survey participants (N = 334) recruited from a large university in Oregon. After fitting an initial measurement model, we fit a structural equation model including Health Beliefs About UV (HBAU) subscales ( and ), outcome variables (sunscreen use, indoor tanning, and outdoor tanning), and covariates (eg, tanning and sunscreen use).

Geographic disparities in cancer screening and fatalism among a nationally representative sample of US adults.

Background: Cancer screening in the USA is suboptimal, particularly for individuals living in vulnerable communities. This study aimed to understand how rurality and racial segregation are independently and interactively associated with cancer screening and cancer fatalism.

Methods: We used data from a nationally representative sample of adults (n=17 736) from National Cancer Institute's Health Information National Trends Survey, 2011-2017, including cancer screening (colorectal, breast, cervical, prostate) among eligible participants and cancer fatalism.

Tanning benefits, seasonal effects, and concerns about sunscreen: Measuring health beliefs about UV among college students.

To develop and validate a scale measuring health beliefs about UV in cloudy climates that may impact UV exposure behaviors. Students at a large university in Oregon completed pilot ( = 115) and final ( = 335) scales online March-July, 2016. Five participants underwent cognitive interviews.

Developing a post-treatment survivorship care plan to help breast cancer survivors understand their fertility.

Purpose: Reproductive-aged breast cancer survivors (BCS) who have completed initial cancer treatment frequently want to know about their future fertility potential. The purpose of this qualitative study was to assess if the fertility-related content presented in the survivorship care plan prototype met the informational needs of post-treatment BCS and to provide an opportunity for the target audience to review and react to the proposed content and design.

Methods: We conducted and analyzed transcripts from seven focus groups with BCS to evaluate their reactions to the survivorship care plan prototype.

Patient-centered communication between adolescent and young adult cancer survivors and their healthcare providers: Identifying research gaps with a scoping review.

Objective: To conduct a scoping literature review to identify practices or programs that promote AYA patient-centered communication.

Methods: Between January and May of 2016, we applied standard scoping review methodology to systematically review articles. We considered peer-reviewed, English language articles written at any phase of intervention research.

Prospective comparison of F-NaF PET/CT versus F-FDG PET/CT imaging in mandibular extension of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma with dedicated analysis software and validation with surgical specimen. A preliminary study.

Background: The aim of this study is to propose a new method to quantify radioactivity with PET/CT imaging in mandibular extension in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC), using innovative software, and to compare results with microscopic surgical specimens.

Patients And Methods: This prospective study enrolled 15 patients who underwent F-NaF and F-FDG PET/CT. We compared the delineations of bone invasions obtained with F-NaF PET/CT and F-FDG PET/CT with the results of histopathological analysis of mandibular resections (from right and left bone borders).

Sex differences and risk behaviors among indoor tanners.

Objective: The objectives were to examine (1) sex differences in factors associated with indoor tanning, and (2) the relationship between cancer risk perception and skin cancer screening among indoor tanners.

Methods: Data are from the 2010 National Health Interview Survey. The sample was limited to U.

Prognostic value of PET-CT after first-line therapy in patients with follicular lymphoma: a pooled analysis of central scan review in three multicentre studies.

Background: The value of (18)F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) PET-CT (PET) imaging in response assessment after first-line rituximab chemotherapy for follicular lymphoma has been documented. We analysed the application of the five-point Deauville scale (5PS; used to score FDG uptake on PET images) in a large cohort derived from three studies, to assess the correlation between post-induction PET status and survival in patients with follicular lymphoma.

Methods: In this pooled analysis, we used data from three multicentre prospective studies of first-line rituximab chemotherapy for patients with high-tumour-burden follicular lymphoma (the PRIMA study, the PET-Folliculaire study, and the Fondazione Italiana Linfomi FOLL05 study).

PET/CT before autologous stem cell transplantation predicts outcome in refractory/relapsed follicular lymphoma.

Purpose: Salvage of young patients with follicular lymphoma (FL) after R-CHOP includes salvage immunochemotherapy followed by autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT). Previous studies dealing with relapsed Hodgkin lymphoma have shown the prognostic value of PET/CT prior to ASCT.

Methods: We retrospectively analysed 59 patients with refractory/relapsed FL after first-line R-CHOP who were chemosensitive (as evaluated by CT) to the salvage treatment and who proceeded to ASCT.

Measurement of disordered eating in Latina college women.

The Eating Disorder Risk Composite (EDRC) comprises the Drive for Thinness, Bulimia, and Body Dissatisfaction subscales of the Eating Disorder Inventory, Third Edition (EDI-3, Garner, 2004). Past research conducted with Latina college women (LCW) has found older versions of the EDRC subscales to be reliable, but the EDI-3's EDRC factor structure has yet to be studied among LCW. The present study investigated the pattern of responses to and the factor structure of the EDRC in LCW.

Impact of [(18)F]fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography response evaluation in patients with high-tumor burden follicular lymphoma treated with immunochemotherapy: a prospective study from the Groupe d'Etudes des Lymphomes de l'Adulte and GOELAMS.

Purpose: [(18)F]Fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (PET) is widely used for the staging and restaging of patients with aggressive lymphoma, but less is known about the utility of PET in patients with follicular lymphoma (FL). In a prospective study, we evaluated the prognostic value of PET performed during treatment and at the end of treatment in 121 patients with FL treated with first-line immunochemotherapy.

Patients And Methods: Patients with previously untreated high-tumor burden FL were treated with six cycles of R-CHOP (rituximab, cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, and prednisone) plus two cycles of rituximab, without rituximab maintenance.

A false-positive finding in therapeutic evaluation: hypermetabolic axillary lymph node in a lymphoma patient following FDG extravasation.

We report a case of a false-positive finding in FDG PET/CT following radiotracer extravasation. A 15-year-old male patient was referred for therapeutic evaluation status post-chemotherapy for a lymphoblastic lymphoma. FDG PET/CT showed discordant findings with a marked decrease in a liver/hepatic hilum uptake, disappearance of a subcutaneous left supraclavicular uptake, and appearance of intense right axillary nodal uptake.

SUVmax reduction improves early prognosis value of interim positron emission tomography scans in diffuse large B-cell lymphoma.

The prognostic value of interim positron emission tomography (PET) interpreted according to visual criteria is a matter of debate in diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). Maximal standardized uptake value reduction (ΔSUVmax) may better predict outcome. To compare the prognostic value of both methods, we analyzed PET done at baseline (PET0) and after 2 (PET2) and 4 (PET4) cycles in 85 patients with high-risk DLBCL enrolled on a prospective multicenter trial.

Discordance between labelled white blood cell scintigraphy and bone scan following suspicion of bone infection: what should be done about it?

Background: Bone infection is a common issue in infectiology. The gold standard for evaluating bone infection is the white blood cell (WBC) scan. In our practice the WBC scan is coupled with a bone scan.

Evaluation of O-(2-[18F]-Fluoroethyl)-L-Tyrosine in the Diagnosis of Glioblastoma.

Objective: To assess the feasibility of synthesis of O-(2-[(18)F]-fluoroethyl)-l-tyrosine (FET), a new positron emission tomographic (PET) tracer described in several studies but not yet considered standard in management of glioma, in routine practice and to determine FET uptake in a homogeneous group of patients with suspected high-grade glioma.

Design: Prospective nonrandomized trial.

Patients: Twelve patients with suspicion of high-grade glioma.

[Does tobacco smoking induce significant artificial irradiation?].

Artificial irradiation due to tobacco smoking is a widely accepted phenomenon, but the possible health implications are controversial. The IAEA has estimated that smoking twenty cigarettes a day induces a total "radiation exposure" of 53 mSv, but several other authors have estimated that the effective dose is only about 0.4 mSv/year.
