Breast Cancer Survivor Narratives on the Transition from Treatment to Survivorship

In this study we want to learn more about the factors that affect quality of life for breast cancer survivors. We also want to learn about the common experiences patients face. What we learn in this study could be used in future research to address overlooked challenges for patients in life after treatment.

Experience of Black patients diagnosed with endometrial cancer

In this study, we want to understand the experiences of Black women in their journey to a diagnosis of endometrial cancer. Learning more about the diagnosis experience will help us to understand what made it easy or difficult to get their diagnosis. This information will help us to develop a tool to improve the endometrial cancer diagnosis experience.

Prostate Cancer Treatment Decisions for Black Patients

The purpose of this research study is to better understand, from the perspective of Black patients, whether telemedicine visits make prostate cancer decision making easier or harder. The COVID-19 pandemic made it more difficult for patients to see their doctors, but care could continue by having appointments via a computer or phone, which many prostate cancer doctors used. Whether in person or remote, successfully choosing a treatment for prostate cancer often uses shared decision making (SDM), the process where doctors and patients work together to make decisions that match what matters to patients, but it is unknown whether virtual appointments make discussions better or worse. Other studies have shown that Black patients may be less satisfied with their treatment choices than non-Black patients. Therefore, it is important that we understand how to improve the same quality of care for Black patients.

Immuno-Oncology Database

Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) are a type of cancer treatment that work by over-activating the immune system to find and kill cancer cells. This type of treatment can sometimes lead to side effects that look like autoimmune diseases (diseases where the immune system attacks the body). We want to collects samples and clinical data from cancer patients taking ICI therapy to understand why some patients get side effects and others don't.
