背景资料。生活方式因素(如吸烟、饮食)和对筛查建议的遵从性在癌症风险中发挥作用，而新兴技术(如新疫苗、基因测试)有望改善风险管理。然而，癌症控制工作的最佳结果需要卫生专业人员在风险评估、风险沟通和实施健康行为改变策略方面做好更好的准备，这些对癌症控制至关重要。尽管医师助理(PA)在初级保健环境中主要从事与癌症相关的服务交付，但很少有模式能够促进将癌症控制学习经验整合到高强度、快节奏、为期24至30个月的PA培训计划中。
Background. Lifestyle factors (eg, smoking, diet) and compliance with screening recommendations play a role in cancer risk, and emerging technologies (eg, new vaccines, genetic testing) hold promise for improved risk management.Methods. However, optimal outcomes from cancer control efforts require better preparation of health professionals in risk assessment, risk communication, and implementing health behavioral change strategies that are vitally important to cancer control.Results and Conclusion. Although physician assistants (PAs) are substantively engaged in cancer-related service delivery in primary care settings, few models exist to facilitate integration of cancer control learning experiences into the curricula used in intense, fast-paced, 24- to 30-month PA training programs.
