“Discuss what factors contribute to the yearly incidence and mortality rates of various cancers in Americans.”

Various factors account for the yearly increase in the incidences of cancer and the rising mortality rates from cancer in the United States. These factors include cigarette smoking or tobacco use, obesity, poor habits of eating, and improper dietary regimens (National Cancer Institute, 2020). The other factor is the increase in the Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) and hepatitis diseases, which contribute to the yearly incidences of cancer cases. HPV) and hepatitis are responsible for 25% percent of cancer cases in the United States and across the globe (WHO, 2018). The other factors include economic disparities and social status, making it difficult for patients to seek healthcare intervention for early cancer screening and treatment, thus leading to an increase in the mortality rates from cancer. 

“Explain how the American Cancer Society (ACS) might provide education and support. What ACS services would you recommend and why?”

The American Cancer Society (ACS) can assist cancer patients by improving patient education and support by providing patient information emotional support to patients and their families (Rock et al., 2020). Offering cancer information and emotional support can enhance patient outcomes and reduce the side effects, which are most of the common worries of cancer patients. Moreover, the ACS can accomplish this mission through a 24-hour information provision via phone and live chat by its support team (Rock et al., 2020). When patients are provided with cancer-rich information, patients can make informed decisions concerning their treatment plans and clear the worries they might be having. More important, ACS specialists offer educational information that allows patients to get the answers to their healthcare queries and needs.
