Cancer is a national priority
Obama “Cancer Moonshot” (Targeting treatments, screening and prevention) Cuomo NYS funding to Screen/ Treat Cancer 2016 estimates:
1.69 million new cancer cases in the US (110K NYS) 596,000 deaths (35K NYS)
US lifetime risk: 1 in 3 women; 1 in 2 men
SLIDE 3 Public Health
- Focus on disease occurrence in larger populations and groups
- Prevention focused
- Research on risk factors for disease; Prevention trials
- Mechanistic studies (clinical translational)
- At UB SPHHP, w e have a trem endous am ount of ongoing

Economic and Public Health Impact… … another example
SLIDE 13 Econom ic and Health I m pact of the W HI Estrogen+ Progestin Trial
Roth et al, Annals of I nternal Medicine, May 2 0 1 4
Trial cost $260 million (in 2012 dollars), produced a net economic return of $37.1 billion:
- a return of $140 for every dollar invested in the trial.
Estimated health benefits (10 years following):
- $4.3 million fewer women used HT from 2002-2012
- Prevented (estimated in the following 10 years):
- 126,000 fewer cases of breast cancer
- 76,000 fewer cases of cardiovascular disease
- 80,000 fewer cases of venous thromboembolism (VTE)
SLIDE 14
Cancer Focus in W HI : Additional research
Risk Factors:
Diet, 2nd hand smoke, co-morbidities, medications, physical activity, race/ ethnicity… Periodontal Disease – total cancer, lung, upper GI, breast
Blood/ Tumor biomarkers:
Telomeres, proteome, metabolome, genetics/ genomics (consortium)
Hundreds of scientific papers, ancillary grants Two national team science awards for this work
