PROstate Cancer Risk Calculator for ACTionable Clinical Decision-making in Nigeria

This study is a pilot trial that builds on findings from the validation of prostate cancer risk calculators in Nigerian men. The goal of the overall study is to improve the early detection of prostate cancer in a high-risk population. The main questions the validation study aims to answer are: 1. How accurately do existing prostate cancer risk calculators identify Nigerian men with clinically significant prostate cancer? 2. Will a new risk calculator designed for Nigerian men more accurately identify those with clinically significant prostate cancer? The main questions the intervention study aims to answer is: Will the primary care provider-facing risk calculator be feasible and acceptable for primary care providers to implement? The intervention trial will be piloted among participants in community-level hospitals in order to primarily assess implementation outcomes

INSPIRE Respiratory Health Program in Botucatu, São Paulo, Brazil

The goal of this observational study is to evaluate the implementation of the INSPIRE program and to plan actions for the preparation, coordination, monitoring, diagnosis, and treatment of respiratory diseases in the municipality of Botucatu. Methods: Individuals with respiratory symptoms from the municipality of Botucatu, aged 18 or older, will be invited to participate in the study, and socioeconomic data, as well as information on sex, gender, race, nutritional risk, frailty, tobacco exposure, and its derivatives, will be collected. For those with exposure, screening and treatment for respiratory diseases will be offered through assessment of pulmonary function, body composition, respiratory and peripheral muscle strength. Additionally, individuals over 40 years old with tobacco exposure equal to or greater than 30 pack-years will be offered low-dose chest CT screening for lung cancer. Expected results: To identify and assess vulnerable groups that face difficulties in accessing respiratory healthcare, as well as implement specific strategies for the treatment of respiratory diseases and tobacco control for these groups. To ensure equitable access to respiratory health for the entire population at risk due to smoking. Moreover, through proactive and reactive risk reduction actions implemented by the program, to intervene in distinct groups and other regions.
