Cancer and Preventive Services PaperAPA FORMAT PLEASEWrite a 2 page paper that
addresses the following:Describe available preventive services that providers might
recommend for patients at risk of the type of cancer you selected.Explain how the factors
you selected might impact decisions related to preventive services.Describe drug treatment
options for patients diagnosed with the type of cancer you selected. Explain the short-term
and long-term implications of these treatments.To prepare:Select a type of cancer
associated with women’s or men’s health such as breast, cervical, or ovarian cancer in
women and prostate cancer in men.Locate and review articles examining the type of cancer
you selected.Review the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force article in the Learning
Resources. Think about available preventive services that providers might recommend for
patients at risk of this type of cancer.Select two of the following factors: genetics, gender,
ethnicity, age, or behavior. Reflect on how these factors might impact decisions related to
preventive services.Consider drug treatment options for patients diagnosed with the type of
cancer you selected including short-term and long-term implications of the
treatments.Assignment:Cancer and Women’s and Men’s HealthThe American Cancer Society
estimates that by the end of 2012, more than 226,000 women will be diagnosed with breast
cancer and more than 241,000 men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer (American
Cancer Society, 2012a; American Cancer Society 2012b). With such prevalence of women’s
and men’s cancers, patient education and preventive services are essential. In clinical
settings, advanced practice nurses must assist physicians in educating patients on risk
factors, preventive services, and for patients diagnosed with cancer, on potential drug
treatments. The clinical implications of women’s and men’s cancer greatly depend on early
detection, which is primarily achieved through preventive services. In this Assignment, you
consider the short-term and long-term implications of cancer and drug treatments
associated with women’s and men’s health, as well as appropriate preventive services.
