Researchers investigated the variables contributing to the varying frequency of melanoma in the Atlantic provinces of Canada to improve understanding of participants' attitudes toward exposure to the sun and inform public health guidelines related to CM prevention.
By Pooja Toshniwal PahariaOct 31 2023Reviewed by Danielle Ellis, B.Sc. In a recent study published in Cancers, researchers explored the individual , interpersonal , community , and societal factors impacting sun exposure patterns perceived by the residents of Atlantic Canadian provinces.
About the study In the present study, researchers investigated the variables contributing to the varying frequency of melanoma in the Atlantic provinces of Canada to improve understanding of participants' attitudes toward exposure to the sun and inform public health guidelines related to CM prevention.
From July to August 2022, one online and 22 offline focus assemblies were held, which drew 95 participants. The study participants described their habits to avoid sun exposure. A male college student and two female medical students with prior experience in qualitative analyses observed the participants, made notes, and served as moderators. The subject guide was developed based on field notes, debriefing, and observations of team members.
Related StoriesIndividuals in low-incidence regions, on the other hand, wore sunscreen and sun-protective apparel less frequently, participated in vocations and activities that allowed for less sun exposure, and resided in colder temperatures. Individuals in the PEI and NS provinces used sunscreen more frequently, potentially owing to increased knowledge of environmental variables.
In the Netherlands, avoiding severe sun was driven by not needing to apply sunscreen, but in New Brunswick and Nova Scotia/Prince Edward Island, avoiding heat was identified as a motivating factor for avoiding sun exposure. Global warming and climate change impact on Atlantic Canada's rural population is causing considerable worry.

Researchers Discover Potential Therapy for Triple-Negative Breast CancerResearchers at Baylor College of Medicine have identified a potential therapy for triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) by targeting the protein eIF4A with a small molecule drug called Zotatifin. The drug not only suppresses tumor cell proliferation but also remodels the tumor immune microenvironment, leading to improved outcomes. Clinical trials are now being considered to assess the potential benefits of this approach.
