Carolina Endometrial Cancer Study

For more information, please visit our website: https://cecs.unc.edu The purpose of this research study is to learn more about the diagnosis, treatment, and survivorship experiences of adults with endometrial cancer. Initial enrollment goals are for 1,800 adults living in North Carolina at the time of their recent first diagnosis of endometrial cancer. This project will provide important data for integrating tumor biology, access to care, and other factors to identify contributors, and potential areas for intervention to address endometrial cancer disparities. Study staff will pursue annual follow-ups with participants, requesting updates to treatment status and quality of life measures for approximately 5yrs.

LCC Warnings - Representative Survey

In Aim 1, we will use existing research and expert review to develop new text and pictorial LCC warnings and test the new warnings using online experiments to identify warnings that adult LCC users perceive as most effective. The proposed study will fill critical gaps regarding which characteristics make LCC warning labels most effective and provide needed evidence on how LCC warnings influence LCC behavioral intentions. Our overarching goal is to develop effective LCC warnings that reduce cancer and other health risks.

UNCPM 22117 - Kaposi Sarcoma chemotherapy and research (KS-CARE)

The purpose of this study is to help us better understand how patients with KS will respond to treatment with chemotherapy.
