High impact information on American Cancer Society

• The National Cancer Data Base is a community-oriented cancer management and outcomes database that is the joint project of the Commission on Cancer of the American College of Surgeons and the American Cancer Society. This article provides a first look at highlights from the 1998 summary [6].
• In all patients, physicians agreed highly with the American Cancer Society and the Canadian Task Force recommendations (agreement, 80% to 100%), with the exception of proctoscopy and thyroid examinations [7].
• Our methods are illustrated with an analysis of the American Cancer Society cohort to determine whether all cause mortality is associated with concentrations of sulfate particles [8].
• The 4th American Cancer Society Award for Research Excellence in Cancer Epidemiology and Prevention. Phenotypes, Genotypes, and Interventions for Hereditary Cancers [9].
• These findings support dietary recommendations, such as those of the American Cancer Society, the National Cancer Institute, and the U.S. Dietary Guidelines, which allow for adequate intake of folate and vitamin C, both of which are found in good quantity in fruits and vegetables [10].

Associations of American Cancer Society with chemical compounds

• We compared the effectiveness of American Cancer Society, FreshStart, American Lung Association, Freedom from Smoking, and laboratory clinic methods in subjects (N = 1041) from three communities [11].
• The Tobacco Control Country Profiles database, a data collection initiative led by the American Cancer Society in collaboration with WHO and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, represents the first step in the development of such a system [12].
• SETTING: The New Hampshire Division of the American Cancer Society recruited and trained the volunteer facilitators [13].
• METHODS: Archival formalin fixed paraffin embedded specimens of nonneoplastic pancreata (n = 39) were obtained from the American Cancer Society and evaluated histopathologically [14].

Gene context of American Cancer Society

• Prostate cancer screening. Appropriate choices? Investigators of the American Cancer Society National Prostate Cancer Detection Project [15].
• METHODS: Men were selected from white male participants in two large American Cancer Society cohorts: Cancer Prevention Studies I (CPS-I) (enrolled in 1959 and followed through 1972) and II (CPS-II) (enrolled in 1982 and followed through 1996) [16].
• The participating institutions of the American Cancer Society National Prostate Cancer Detection Project did 520 biopsies on 2425 men over a 3.5-year period [17].
• Purchasing oncology services. Kerr L. White Institute/American Cancer Society Task Force on Purchasing Oncology Services [18].
• The calculation of years lost by individuals dying prematurely from smoking-related deaths is taken as an example using data from the American Cancer Society Cancer Prevention Study (ACS CPS II) and from Peto et al [19].

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of American Cancer Society

• The National Cancer Data Base report on completeness of American Joint Committee on Cancer staging in United States cancer facilities. The American College of Surgeons Commission on Cancer and the American Cancer Society [20].
• BACKGROUND: In this keynote address presented at the American Cancer Society International Conference on Prevention and Early Diagnosis of Lung Cancer, Varese, Italy, in 1998, the genesis and the activities of the International Association for the Study of Lung Cancer (IASLC) are outlined [21].
• The American Cancer Society National Prostate Cancer Detection Project (ACS-NPCDP) is a multicenter, interdisciplinary demonstration project to assess the impact on early detection of transrectal ultrasound (TRUS), prostate-specific antigen (PSA), and digital rectal examination (DRE) [22].
