We would like to help patients identify what is important to them, i.e., their values, and support communicating that to their caregivers and healthcare providers.

Cancer is the leading cause of death in the Hispanic population in the U.S. Our study focuses on collecting information to build a cancer registry from a diverse Hispanic population to identify specific cultural and demographic details that will allow us to determine which attribute carries a higher risk of a poor outcome. We will also be utilizing a set of questionnaires and surveys that evaluate the health and functionality of older adults thoroughly and efficiently. These surveys provide a wealth of prognostic data and have been shown to detect deficits even in younger patients. Although the information we hope to collect is of considerable value, we must first examine whether our approach to consenting patients and having them complete these questionnaires is feasible. We anticipate that the findings from our study will provide valuable insights on Hispanic adults with cancer as a unique and growing patient population in the U.S.
