Perceived barriers and preferred components for physical activity interventions in African-American survivors of breast or endometrial cancer with type 2 diabetes: the S.U.C.C.E.S.S. framework.
The study’s objectives were to explore the perspectives of African American survivors with type 2 diabetes on perceived barriers to physical activity (PA) and preferences for a PA intervention and develop a framework for a PA program after cancer treatment. Nine themes were identified that focused on post-treatment physical symptoms. The S.U.C.C.E.S.S. framework summarizes the survivors' preferences for effective lifestyle interventions such as supporting efforts to maintain PA.

Tobacco-use cessation counseling service usage.
The authors evaluated patterns of receipt of Tobacco-use Cessation Counseling (TCC) services among elderly lung cancer patients. They found a critical need to address disparities in receipt of TCC services among elderly. They concluded that, although lung cancer preventive services are covered under the Medicare program, these services are underutilized.
