Audience Response System (ARS) –
keypads
We want to ask a few questions that will
let us know a bit about you
We will be using keypads to gather the
information
You press the number on the keypad that
best describes your answer (use “0” for
“10” on the keypad)
No identifying information will be collected
(this is why there is no consent form)

Audience Response System (ARS) –
keypads
This is how we vote on different items and
issues
Although the keypads are “anonymous” (we
don’t know who uses which keypad); but we
would like you to use the same one throughout
the workshop
You do not need to “point” the keypad (like a TV
remote control)
You will see a counter on the screen that shows
how many people have “voted” on any item

Program 2 [NCI1U54CA153605]
Audience Response System (ARS) –
keypads
A top bar appears and the upper right-hand box
needs to be “green” before you vote.
You can change your vote up until the final vote
has been collected and the slide advances
A summary of bar graphs appears on the screen
after the votes are completed for most items so
that everyone can see the total tallies
The summary bar graph will not appear for preworkshop knowledge items or workshop
satisfaction

represents your protection
against things that may make
you more susceptible to
cancer (i.e., cancer risks)
The larger the holes and the
more number of holes in the
shield, the less likely it is to
protect you from cancer or
other health problems

How Can I Help Myself?
Avoid HPV Infection!
100 types of human papillomavirus (HPV)
Only about 12 types cause cancer of the cervix
HPV16 and HPV18 found in most cervix tumors
Both of the current HPV vaccines include HPV
types 16 and 18
Most women have no noticeable symptoms
Some women get genital warts
Most may not even know they have it

Program 2 [NCI1U54CA153605]
38
How Can I Help Myself?
Avoid HPV Infection!
Limit number of sexual partners
Most people will get HPV if they have more than 5
sexual partners in their lifetime
Sexual partners are likely to share the same HPV
type - both partners need to be treated.
(Men also at risk for other cancers; can get vaccine)
Use condoms
HPV may be present on skin not covered by a
condom = transmission is possible.

39
How Can I Help Myself?
HPV (Human Papillomavirus)
The HPV vaccine is likely to eliminate
most Cancer of the Cervix, but it is not a
cure-all
Talk with you provider about whether or
not the HPV vaccine is appropriate for you
Females still need to practice good
behaviors that help prevent Cancer of the
Cervix

40
How Can I Help Myself?
Get a Pap test every year or
as often as your provider
suggests
If you have a sexually
transmitted disease (STD),
get treatment
Do not use manufactured
tobacco habitually and reduce
your exposure to second hand
smoke

QUESTION: What are Pap Tests?
The Pap Test can tell if
you have abnormal cells
or cancer of the cervix
early, while it is still easy
to cure

pelvic examination by a
trained provider in a
health clinic or medical
screening van

Who Develops Colon Cancer?
Anyone can develop colon cancer
Cancer knows no prejudice
It is found in all racial groups
Both men and women develop colon cancer
But, your chances of developing cancer increase as
you grow older
Cancer develops over time:
It is a result of a complex mix of factors related to:
Lifestyle (daily behaviors)
Called “risk
Environment
factors”
Heredity/genetics

47
Colon Cancer risks that “damage” the
shield of protection include:
1. Personal history of polyps in colon
2. Growing older
3. Personal history of colon cancer
4. Personal history of another type of cancer
5. Alaska Native / No. or So. Plains
6. Hereditary risk (e.g., HNPCC, FAP)
7. Family history
8. Personal history of colon problems
9. Sedentary life style
10.Habitual tobacco use
11.Diabetes
12.Diet (low fiber/ folic acid)
13.Over recommended body weight by 15-20 pounds (high fat / calorie diet)
14.Drinking equivalent to more than 7 (F) / 14 (M) alcoholic drinks in a week
15.For post-menopausal women, not taking hormonal replacement therapy
Polyps (paul-lips)
Most polyps are “benign”
Some polyps are pre-cancerous and may
gradually develop into cancer
Others never become cancer
Polyps may be very small (tiny dot) to fairly
large (size of a walnut)
Polyps can be surgically removed to help
prevent problems
Having polyps may be the most common
risk factor for CRC

Traditional Use
Cigarette smoking is not our
tradition.
Paul Ortega, Mescalero Apache, “it is not
respectful use of the sacrament, ‘tobacco’
when you hold the cigarette away from the
body, drop it to the ground, and ground it
out with your foot … that is not how we
treat our sacraments.”

What is the history of Tobacco for
American Indians?
Each Tribe has its own beliefs
about Tobacco and its origins.
Tribal stories carry the story of the
origin of tobacco or how the gift of
tobacco came to the people.
Tribal stories also tell how to use
tobacco and take care of it for
future generations.

Smokeless Tobacco (ST) Nicotine
Content
4.8 mg nicotine / gm of MOIST snuff X 30
gm/can = 144 mg nicotine (=80 cigarettes
or 4 packs)
1 can snuff = 4 packs of cigarettes
ST users are exposed to as much, and
possibly more, daily nicotine than cigarette
smokers

How is a Lung Screening Done?
At present CT scan is the most likely
screening test for lung cancer
Other tests performed prior to CT scan
(to check for breathing and lung volume
because the test is expensive (~$2,000)
If lung cancer is found when it is very small and has not
spread, it may be curable
But, only a small proportion of lung cancer is found in
this early stage of growth

QUESTION: What is the Prostate Gland?
The prostate is inside the male’s body
It is behind and below your bladder
Think about hunting and
cleaning the carcass
The “guts” between the legs
includes the prostate gland
All male four-legged and two-legged
have a prostate gland just like human
males - We are all related

What is the Prostate Gland?
Sex gland in men
It makes up part of the fluid that allows the
sperm to swim / move
Hard to find because it is small and
embedded in the tissues … so it is easy to
miss
It is about the size of a walnut before the
walnut has its shell removed

Prostate Cancer risks that “damage”
the shield of protection include:
1. Male
2. Age: Men over 50 (risk increases
as you get older)
3. Family history (“1st degree
relative”)
4. Race
a. African Americans have 2 X
the incidence as white men
b. Northern or Southern Plains
higher incidence than other
tribal Nations
5. Diet (high-fat, especially animal
fats) increase risks
6. Alcohol (>14 drinks a week)
What is the Digital Rectal Exam (DRE)?
Physical exam by the provider
Provider feels the prostate with a finger
through the wall of the rectum
Provider feels for
Unusual lumps
Uneven surfaces
Recommended as part of annual
checkups for men over 50 years old

What is the “PSA” Test?
“Prostate Specific Antigen” = PSA
Blood test
Recommended as part of annual
checkups by some doctors
For men over 50 years old
For younger men who are at high risk
for the disease

PSA Tests (nanograms per milliliter
circulating in the blood (ng/mL))
PSA Level
Probability of Cancer
0-2 ng/mL
1%
2-4 ng/mL
15%
4-10 ng/mL
25%
>10 ng/mL
>50%
A 35 year old man with 8 ng/mL is more of a concern
than is an older man with same PSA count

71
What is the “PSA” Test?
Healthy men have small amounts of
“prostate-specific antigen” in their blood
Less than 4.0 ng/mL (remember varies
by age)
Levels higher than 4.0 ng/mL can mean
conditions other than prostate cancer
A man who has prostate cancer will have
higher PSA in the blood because this is
how his body fights the disease

Examples of What can Cause Higher PSA
Levels Other Than Cancer?
Enlarged prostate (benign prostatic
hyperlasia [BPH])
Infected or inflamed prostate
Biopsy or operation on prostate
Pre-cancerous cells in the prostate

Symptoms
Trouble urinating (Frequent desire to
urinate/pee with little success)
Decreased force in the urine stream
Blood in your urine or semen (Native men
rarely refer to blood for any health concerns)
Swelling in your legs
Discomfort in the pelvic area
Bone pain (very painful and most Native
men refused to discuss such pain)
