    Purpose: This study aimed to determine the awareness of healthy individuals about the attributable risk factors of cancer and investigate the consistency of their ideas.Material and Methods: A review of relevant literature was undertaken to assemble a list of possible causes of cancer. Seventy-six healthy individuals were interviewed. Individuals were asked to declare their opinion by scoring the potential 15 cancer risk factors between 0-4. One week later, the opinions were retaken to evaluate intra-rater reliability.Results: Individuals mostly agreed with the attributable risk factors including nuclear accident (96.0%), smoking (94.8%), stress (93.5%), having a family history of cancer (92.1%), alcohol (90.8%), air pollution (86.8%), plastic (84.2%), mobile phone use (79.0%), washing agents (77.7%), sunlight exposure (69.77%), occupational exposure (67.1%), being overweight (63.1%), infection (57.9%), fatigue (54.0%), except age (34.2%). All risk factors had significant intra-rater consistencies in different levels (fair to perfect) between the two-time points (p<0.05).Conclusion: It was determined that 14 out of the 15 risk factors carried a cancer risk according to the individuals. The formation of sufficient awareness and acceptance of risk factors has revealed the necessity of raising awareness in the fight against cancer.

    Investigation of the validity and reliability of the Turkish version of the Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-Cognitive Function in cancer patients
    (Cambridge Univ Press, 2022) Uysal, Songul Atasavun; Kabak, Vesile Yildiz; Karakas, Yusuf; Karabulut, Erdem; Kocamaz, Deniz Erdan; Keser, Ilke; Ozdemir, Kadirhan
    Objective The Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-Cognitive Function (FACT-Cog) is a questionnaire that is used to evaluate the quality of life and cognitive functions according to individual self-reports. The aim of this study was to investigate the validity and reliability of the Turkish version of the FACT-Cog. Methods Cancer patients who were treated with chemo or radiotherapy and had a score of 24/30 and more in Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) were included in this study. Cognitive functions assessed with the FACT-Cog and the European Organization of Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Core Questionnaire Core 30: Cognitive Function subscale (EORTC QLQ-CF). Results One hundred and forty cancer patients [female = 87 (62.1%), male = 53 (37.9%)] were included. The mean age of the participants was 47.93 +/- 11.90 years. The Cronbach's alpha of the FACT-Cog scale was 0.82. Test-retest intraclass correlation coefficient values of the FACT-Cog questionnaire were varied from 0.855 to 0.954. There were found low correlations between the total score of the FACT-Cog and the MMSE (r = 0.26, p = 0.002), and moderate correlations between the EORTC QLQ-CF subscale and the FACT-Cog (r = -0.43; p < 0.001). Significance of results It showed the validity and reliability of the Turkish version of the FACT-Cog questionnaire for cancer patients. It may be beneficial to use this questionnaire for the effects of cancer treatment.
