: The aim to examine the signs for the potency of interventions to raise cancer awareness along with promote early demonstration in most cancers to share with future and policy investigation. Several peer-reviewed journals as well as books, conference paper and authentic website (like as NCBI, PubMed, CRI, CRU, Google Scholar, MEDLINE, Web of Science, etc.) Also, we looked for bibliographic databases and reference lists Such as randomized controlled trials of interventions brought to Individuals and commanded or uncontrolled reports of interventions brought to communities. The results found the signs that interventions reach to people subconsciously increase the cancer awareness from the short term and inadequate signs they advertise premature demonstration. This analysis helps to find appropriate info about categorizing the early indicators of many kinds of cancer cells on addition to appropriate guidelines to conquer cancer in low-Mid center income areas. Whereas contained the structured screening program, which helps detect cancer early and having a heightened chance of therapeutic and treatment content, taking essential measures to elevate the consciousness of the detectable symptoms.

BACKGROUND Public awareness for BCC is particularly important, as its major risk factors — increased sun exposure and number of sunburns — are largely preventable. OBJECTIVE Determine whether social media posts from celebrities has an affect on public awareness of basal cell carcinoma. METHODS We used Google Trends to investigate whether public awareness for basal cell carcinoma (BCC) increased following social media posts from Hugh Jackman. To forecast the expected search interest for BCC, melanoma and sunscreen in the event that each celebrity had not posted on social media, we used the autoregressive integrated moving average (ARIMA) algorithm. RESULTS We found that social media posts from Hugh Jackman, a well-known actor, increased relative search interest above the expected search interest calculated using an ARIMA forecasting model. CONCLUSIONS Our results also suggest that increasing awareness by Skin Cancer Awareness Month may be less effective for BCC, but a celebrity spokesperson has the potential to increase awareness. BCC is largely preventable, so increasing awareness could lead to a decrease in incidence.

Abstract Background Prostate cancer (PC) is the leading cause of cancer deaths among men in Ghana. This poses a public health threat, especially among the Ghana Armed Force (GAF) where the majority are males. This study aimed to assess male soldiers’ awareness, knowledge and attitudes toward early detection of prostate cancer. Results It was found that 58.3% of the soldiers were less aware of PC and 76.0% had low or neutral knowledge regarding risk factors and symptoms of PC. The soldiers had positive attitudes toward early detection but had low intentions of getting tested. Awareness was significantly associated with education, rank, haven received PC information from a health worker and being knowledgeable of signs of PC. Conclusion We recommend that management of the GAF should liaise with the Ministry of Health to sensitize and educate soldiers on prostate cancer, and if possible, organize periodic screening activities for the soldiers to aid in early detection and effective management of the disease. The findings of this study provide valuable information for health interventions in Ghana.
