We are seeking volunteers for a survey to learn what may encourage and discourage cancer patients to be in cancer research studies. We'd like to hear from you if you are: -18 years+ -Have been diagnosed with cancer or the caregiver of someone diagnosed with cancer. -Spend time in Bertie, Hertford, Robeson or Scotland County, NC or a neighboring county. Participation includes 1 survey (about 10 minutes long) that can be done with your mobile device, computer, or by phone with the researcher.

We would like to learn about how people who apply for healthcare financial assistance experience the application process, including things that make the application process work well or that were challenging. At this time we are not able to offer interviews to people who applied to UNC or Duke, we are interested in hearing from people who applied to other programs (such as Atrium, Novant, Wake, Vidant, ECU, Cape Fear Health Net, Physicians Reach Out, or Project Access).
We are doing this study to test a behavioral lifestyle program designed specifically for adolescent and young adult cancer survivors. Study participants will use a smartphone app and Fitbit activity tracker to help them develop healthier habits.
The purpose of this study is to find out if we can improve the chance of your leukemia going away (remission) and lower the chance of your leukemia coming back (relapsing) by combining two drugs for acute lymphoblastic leukemia. In this study you will be given the first study drug (Inotuzumab Ozogamicin) for up to 7 weeks and then a second leukemia drug (Blinatumomab) for up to 31 weeks.
Do you have a new diagnosis of Acute Myeloid Leukemia and are looking for another treatment option? In this study, we are looking to see if the study drug (Tagraxofusp) can help control Leukemia or achieve remission.
Have you been recently diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia? If so, you may be able to take part in a research study to help us learn more about the effects of using Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitor (TKI), steroids and blinatumomab versus treatment with steroids, Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitor (TKI) and chemotherapy.
Have you been diagnosed with cancer or a benign disease that is being evaluated for cancer for which you may receive treatment? If so, you may be able to take part in a research study that collects biospecimens (e.g. blood, saliva, tissue, etc) and health information to better understand how cancers develop and affect the body,]. If so, you may be able to take part in a research study that aims to identify non-invasive biomarkers for cervical cancer screening and monitoring following treatment of abnormal areas on the cervix caused by HPV.
This is a study for people diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukemia and Myelodysplastic Syndromes who are receiving treatment with hypomethylating agents and Venetoclax. Specifically, we want to learn more about nutrition, eating, and mealtimes for older adults (age 60+) with these conditions and their care partners. Care partners can be a spouse, family member, or friend helping a patient with AML/MDS. We want to understand nutrition, eating, and mealtimes over time throughout the first two cycles of treatment. We also want to learn more about the quality of life for patients and care partners.
