SUMMARY:Cancer Survivorship Symposium: Advancing Care and Research
DESCRIPTION:REGISTER HERE. \nAs a result of the progress in cancer care\, more people are surviving cancer than ever before. With two-thirds of Americans now living at least 5 years after a cancer diagnosis\, there are now 13.7 million cancer survivors living in the United States\, and millions more around the world. By 2022\, that number is expected to increase by 35%. Although the growing number of survivors is a welcome sign of progress\, this trend also presents a challenge because many of these individuals require significant\, ongoing care\, such as surveillance for cancer recurrence\, screening for new cancers\, and care for the long-term effects of their initial treatment. \nAs time from an initial diagnosis elapses\, survivors are more likely to receive care from their primary care practitioners (PCPs)\, and survivors with several comorbidities receive care from multiple providers\, underscoring the need to coordinate care among providers. Because uniform standards for the care of survivors have not been fully established\, significant efforts are required to understand the needs of survivors and to develop models of comprehensive\, coordinated care that meet those needs. \nThis unique collaboration among the American Academy of Family Physicians\, the American College of Physicians\, and the American Society of Clinical Oncology will provide information about survivorship issues that both primary care physicians and oncologists are faced with throughout the cancer care continuum. The Symposium represents an innovative approach to education and patient care. \nVIEW PROGRAM \nKEY DATES:\nAUGUST 10\, 2016\nRegistration and Hotel Reservations Open \nOCTOBER 4\, 2016\, AT 11:59 PM (EDT)\nAbstract Submission Deadline \nDECEMBER 21\, 2016\, AT 11:59 PM (EST)\nHotel Reservation and Early Registration Deadline\nWant to receive your Meeting badge in the mail before the Meeting?

NIH-NCI/NIDA/AHRQ funded a national dissemination trial of CEASE and a new award from NCI is evaluating sustainability of this model in the United States. Other major research initiatives have helped describe the phenomenon of thirdhand smoke\, named the health idea of the year by The New York Times. His 2010 special report in the New England Journal of Medicine outlined the social justice\, legal and ethical imperative of implementing completely smoke-free public housing in the U.S. Dr. Winickoff has drafted key tobacco control policy for the AMA\, AAP\, and the APA and served as a scientific advisor for the CDC Communities Putting Prevention to Work (CPPW grants)\, the Massachusetts Tobacco Control Program\, Indiana Tobacco Control Program\, Head Start\, WIC\, the Food and Drug Administration\, Department of Housing and Urban Development\, the Institute of Medicine\, and the U.S. Surgeon General through the Interagency Committee on Smoking and Health. \nJyothi Marbin\, MD\nJyothi Nagraj Marbin is a pediatrician at the Zuckerberg San Francisco General Hospital and UCSF Benioff Children’s Hospital Oakland\, where she works in the Primary Care and Asthma Clinics.

Dr. Marbin has served as the Executive Director of City Year Rhode Island\, and also founded and directed the Rhode Island Family Advocacy Program\, which brings lawyers and doctors together to help address policy issues impacting the health of urban children.

SUMMARY:Webinar: Cancer Caregiving in the Community
DESCRIPTION:Register Here for the Cyber-Seminar\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMore than 1.6 million Americans are expected to receive a new cancer diagnosis this year. Though cancer most strongly affects the individual\, its impact extends to relatives and friends as well. Family and friends are often central in providing care or assistance in both the immediate and long-term management of cancer. Furthermore\, as a result of advances in treatment and health care changes\, much of cancer care is offered on an outpatient basis and is performed at home by caregivers. Research indicates that caregiving can be both demanding and burdensome – physically\, emotionally\, and financially – for many cancer caregivers. \nThe November Research to Reality cyber seminar will highlight the work of researchers and practitioners working on cancer caregiving in the community. \nErin Kent\, Phd\, MS\, will highlight findings from the National Alliance for Caregiving report Cancer Caregiving in the U.S.\, focusing on cancer caregiver needs\, and gaps and opportunities in outreach\, services\, and support. She will also highlight some current caregiver research resources. Kristen Cox Santiago\, MS\, will describe the work of the Cancer Support Community and how they work with comprehensive cancer coalitions to identify and address the needs of caregivers. \nWe will also be joined by Allison Harvey\, MPH\, CHES\, who will give an overview of the George Washington Cancer Center Report\, Supporting Cancer Survivors through Comprehensive Cancer Control Programs and highlight the place of caregivers in survivorship. \nThe final part of the webinar will offer an opportunity to engage with the presenters.  We invite you to share your own experiences and thoughts. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nLearning Objectives\nAt the end of the cyber-seminar\, participants will be able to: \n\nArticulate cancer caregiver resources for researchers and practitioners.\nIdentify needs unique to cancer caregivers\, and needs of caregivers for patients with chronic illness in general.\nIdentify current opportunities and gaps in cancer caregiver outreach\, services\, and support.\nDescribe the work of the Cancer Support Community in cancer caregiving.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPresenters\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAllison Harvey\, MPH\, CHES\n\n\nKristen Cox Santiago\, MS\n\n\nErin E.

SUMMARY:What’s Menthol Got To Do With It? Everything! African Americans Ask President Obama to Intercede and Order the FDA to Issue New Deeming Rule on Menthol
DESCRIPTION:WHAT: Press Conference/Live Stream URL- Click HERE \nWHEN: Tuesday\, September 13\, 2016 11:00 a.m. (EDT) \nWHERE: Kaiser Family Foundation – Barbara Jordan Conference Center 1330 G St. NW\, Washington\, D.C. 20005 \nTobacco use remains the number one preventable cause of death for African Americans\, claiming more than 45\,000 lives annually. Over 80% of Black smokers use mentholated tobacco products\, which is due to decades of geographically racialized targeting of mentholated tobacco products by the tobacco industry. Though the Food and Drug Administration was given the authority to regulate menthol\, it has yet to do so. The AATCLC and our national supporters are asking for President Obama’s intercession to Save Black Lives…  \nDear President Obama\, \nThe African American Tobacco Control Leadership Council (AATCLC) is asking for your direct intercession to help prevent the deaths of the 45\,000 Black people who die every year in this country from tobacco-related diseases. Please direct the FDA to issue a proposed rule to remove all flavored tobacco products\, including mentholated cigarettes\, from the marketplace. The FDA has already done its part by preparing the groundwork for issuing such a proposed rule. Flavored tobacco products (including e-cigarettes\, little cigars\, and cigarillos) are cheap\, sold individually\, and very popular especially among African American\, Latino\, Asian American\, Native Hawaiian and other Pacific Islander youth. The Office of Management and Budget’s (OMB) redlining of the menthol and flavors text in the new FDA deeming rule was ill-informed\, at best. The FDA has collected and analyzed all the evidence related to flavored products\, as reflected in the deleted deeming text. These deletions demonstrate that the FDA attempted to protect the public health as it was mandated to do by the 2009 Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act (FSPTCA). Because this groundwork has already been completed\, issuing a new rule can be accomplished quickly…  \nSpeakers \nHon. Karen Bass\, U.S. House of Representatives\, 37th District \nCarol McGruder\, Co-Chair African American Tobacco Control Leadership Council Dr. Phillip Gardiner\, Co-Chair African American Tobacco Control Leadership Council Dr. Valerie Yerger\, Founding Member African American Tobacco Control Leadership Council Sharon Eubanks\, Former Lead Prosecutor\, U.S. Department of Justice \nCynthia Hallett\, Americans for Non-Smokers’ Rights \nDenny Henigan\, Campaign for Tobacco Free Kids \nDr. Lisa Henriksen\, Stanford University Robin Koval\, Truth Initiative Rod Lew\, APPEAL \nJeannette Noltenius\, National Latino Alliance for Health Equity Michael Scott\, NAATPN\, Inc. \nView official press release
