Variation In Treatment Recommendations For Low-Risk Prostate Cancer: A Focus On Active Surveillance Across Physician Specialties, Sinyu Yang B.S., Tiffany Chu B.S., Cathryn Bock Ph.D, Jinping Xu M.D.
Medical Student Research Symposium
Prostate cancer (PC) is the second leading cause of cancer-related death in men globally, with 1 in 8 men in the US diagnosed during their lifetime. For Low-Risk Prostate Cancer (LRPC), management options include Watchful Waiting (WW), Active Surveillance (AS), or curative treatments such as prostatectomy or radiation. While curative treatments can have significant long-term side effects like urinary incontinence and sexual dysfunction, AS is less invasive and preferred due to fewer adverse effects. However, variations in physician training may lead to differing recommendations, potentially causing confusion or frustration for patients consulting multiple specialists. This study investigates whether treatment recommendations—AS, …

Sexual And Reproductive Healthcare Perceptions Among Arab-American Women: Implications For Gynecological Health Outcomes, Munna Hazime, Kaitlyn Zablock, Whitney Bowyer, Natalie Ahmad Mateju, Andrew Markowitz
Medical Student Research Symposium
This literature review analyzes the sexual and reproductive healthcare perceptions of Arab-American (AA) women living in the United States and how this impacts the prevalence of gynecological diseases. Sexual health is viewed promiscuously within the AA population and is generally reduced to the physical act of intercourse. It is considered either an agent of sexual desire or a means to reproduce. This dichotomy overlooks aspects of gynecological health within a broader framework. This attitude is evident in the minimal utilization of preventative screenings and increased rates of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and gynecological cancers. Consequently, this narrow view of sexual …

The Role Of Vigorous And High Intensity Interval Training Physical Activity Counseling In Prenatal Care, Emily Lau, Brendan T. Lynch, Sonia Hassan
The Role Of Vigorous And High Intensity Interval Training Physical Activity Counseling In Prenatal Care, Emily Lau, Brendan T. Lynch, Sonia Hassan
Medical Student Research Symposium
Background: Physical activity is becoming a more common component of preventative medicine and patient counseling; however, the prevalence of physical activity counseling and specific social determinants of health have prevented women, namely prenatal patients, from receiving this counseling from their providers1. Physical activity, including high intensity interval training (HIIT), has been shown to be feasible for implementation in patient counseling3 and shown to be safe for pregnant women, even into the third trimester2. We hypothesize that the current percentage of patients, including prenatal patients, being counseled on physical activity is lacking. In addition, we hypothesize …
