EXAMINING CANCER-RELATED FATIGUE PREVALENCE AND CONTRIBUTORS OF PERFORMANCE FATIGABILITY AMONG FIREFIGHTERS IN CANCER REMISSION

The overall objective of this project is to examine differences in performance fatigability and contributing mechanisms between firefighters in cancer remission and healthy firefighter controls. Findings from this research project will inform future interventions to reduce CRF in firefighters in cancer remission.

Adaptation of a Patient Navigation Program Study

This study seeks to better understand the unmet needs and care preferences of young adult cancer patients and their caregivers. Interviews to gather this information will be used to tailor an existing, evidence-based patient navigation program to these needs and preferences.

FFNP PET/CT Study

The purpose of this research is to see if a radioactive tracer called (21-[18F]fluoro-16α,17α-[(R)-1'-α- furylmethylidene)dioxyl]-19-norpregn-4-ene-3,20 dione) (also referred to as 18F-FFNP) with positron emission tomography (PET) scanning can provide more information about your response to endocrine therapy when it is combined with Abemaciclib, a member of the class of medications known as CDK4/CDK6 inhibitors.

ACNS2321 (CNS Germinoma, Reduced Radiotherapy)

The purpose of this study is to determine if treating germinomas with chemotherapy followed by a lower dose of radiotherapy (RT) can be as effective as the current standard of care. Specifically, our primary aim is to determine whether 12 Gy whole ventricular irradiation (WVI) and 12 Gy tumor boost would maintain similar efficacy compared to ACNS1123 stratum 2 as measured by event-free survival (EFS) in eligible patients with localized primary central nervous system (CNS) germinoma who present with serum and/or CSF human chorionic gonadotropin-beta (hCGß) = 100 IU/L and normal AFP, and meet complete response (CR) or continued complete response (CCR) criteria following chemotherapy/second-look surgery (Stratum 1). We are attempting to build upon the excellent results of ACNS1123 stratum 2 by reducing the RT dose even further for patients in a CR after chemotherapy.

Improving Cervical Cancer Screening and Care for Women with HIV

The purpose of this study is to learn what women with HIV think about cervical cancer screening. We also want to talk about the idea of using HPV self-collection (where women collect their own sample) instead of going to the clinic for testing. This information will help us see if self- collection can help more women with HIV get screened for cervical cancer.

AGCT1531: A Phase 3 Study of Active Surveillance for Low Risk and a Randomized Trial of Carboplatin vs. Cisplatin for Standard Risk Pediatric and Adult Patients with Germ Cell Tumors

The aim of this study for low and standard risk germ cell tumor (GCT) patients is to minimize toxicity by reducing therapy while maintaining current survival rates. The trial will eliminate chemotherapy for low risk patients who are likely cured with surgery and will observe the salvage rates among those who recur.
