NIH – Reducing Overscreening for Breast, Cervical, and Colorectal Cancers among Older Adults

17/01/2018 11:48

Objetivo: To promote research on interventions, based in healthcare settings, designed to reduce overscreening for breast, cervical, or colorectal cancers among average-risk older adults. While ongoing efforts to promote screening have been successful, there is growing concern that these tests may be overused, thereby subjecting adults to unnecessary risks.

NIH – Physical Activity and Weight Control Interventions Among Cancer Survivors: Effects on Biomarkers of Prognosis and Survival

15/01/2018 09:52

Objetivo: To encourage transdisciplinary and translational research that will identify the specific biological or biobehavioral pathways through which physical activity and/or weight control (either weight loss or avoidance of weight gain) may affect cancer prognosis and survival.

NIH – Phenotypic and Functional Characterization of ApoE2 to Inform Translation Strategies for Aging-Related Conditions

15/01/2018 09:50

Objetivo: To conduct basic and translational studies on ApoE2 and other variants to improve understanding of physiologic and cellular differences attributable to the ApoE e2 allele (vs. other ApoE alleles), and how they mediate ApoE e2’s differential effects on longevity and risk for age-related conditions.  This will aid in the identification of potential therapeutic targets for interventions that prevent or ameliorate aging-related diseases by mimicking favorable differential effects of the ApoE e2 variant, while avoiding adverse effects.
