This study is recruiting Spanish-speaking Latina breast cancer survivors to interview them about factors that influenced their decision about whether or not to have breast reconstruction surgery. In addition, the participants will provide feedback on a website decision tool that was created to increase informed decision making on this topic.
This study is being done to answer the following question: Do two different anti-cancer drugs, paclitaxel (PTX) and pegylated liposomal doxorubicin (PLD) have similar effects on treating KS in PLWH in sub-Saharan Africa? We are doing this study because we want to find out if one of these approaches, PTX or PLD, is better than the other for KS. Both drugs may be given as part of the usual approach for your KS. The usual approach is defined as care most people get for KS.
To initiate and evaluate a multilevel navigation intervention to promote lung cancer screening among Black/African Americans and to develop a population-based biorepository for future research in understanding biological risk factors for poor lung cancer outcomes among Black/African Americans
Cancer information is widely shared on social media, however not all information is true. We aim to explore how social media designs, including in platform prompts and messages, can encourage individuals in cancer care networks to think about the quality and accuracy of cancer information shared online. This innovative work will establish the feasibility, infrastructure, and protocols to test social media designs (prompts, messages) among adults in cancer care networks.
The purpose of this study is to create an educational video on colorectal cancer, screening and prevention, and clinical trials in Spanish in order to demonstrate a correlation between increased education and increased willingness to participate in clinical trials in the Latinx populations through local churches.
The goal of this survey is to evaluate othe current practice across institutions in the United States by surveying Pathologists and Pathologists' Assistants about their approach to pathologic evaluation of bladder cancer specimens (cystectomies). This information would provide useful information about best practices for gross examination of post-NAC cystectomies and help standardize practice between institutions.
The primary objective of the current study is to assess cancer patient perceived barriers to adherence to oral cancer medications. The results of this survey will aid clinicians in identifying targeted priorities in future programs aimed at improving adherence in patients taking oral cancer medications.
The expected outcome of this proposal is a novel care pathway delivered by pharmacists to improve side effects during oral chemotherapy for patients, a known barrier to adherence, and ultimately to prevent progression and early mortality. Our long-term goal for P3OC is to develop and test new dashboard features to optimize pharmacy care and meet future needs for value-based payment models
We are building an automatic pathology report summarization system. We would like to include human judgement from professionals to help us understand and explain the results, and improve the system. In the evaluation, we will schedule a 30-min meeting do go through the details and for the professional to sign a consent form. The professional will expect to receive twenty documents including ten raw reports and ten summaries of these reports. They will be sent in a random order with no correspondence indicated. For each of the document, you will be asked to answer ten questions. We will evaluate the quality of the summaries based on the time she/he spent on reading the report, answering the questions, and the accuracy of the questions.
We are determining whether upper extremity function improves after surgery for patients presenting with upper extremity lymphedema.
