The 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.
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.
Write a 2- to 3- 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.
