The main objective is to glean stakeholders' perspectives about implementing and disseminating an intervention for Black women with breast cancer and their female support people into clinical care.
Using carefully constructed case vignettes and a survey of oncology providers across a spectrum of settings, we sought to characterize early trends in internalization of the girentuximab PET-CT into care.
This study will investigate how mechanical properties of breast tissue, such as stiffness, viscosity, and anisotropy, are related to breast tumor malignancy and response to chemotherapy. The study uses ultrasound imaging to measure these mechanical properties non-invasively in human subjects.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate and compare the survival outcome of patients with first recurrence of GBM undergoing surgical debulking/resection followed by either implantation of the SC9 device and repeat BBB opening in association with carboplatin chemotherapy or standard of care second line chemotherapy with either lomustine or temozolomide (per best physician's choice and best practice).
No guidelines or interventions for patients and their family caregivers exist to support patient adherence to a new medication (venetoclax) and their quality of life. Our research team seeks to understand the real experience and care needs of patients and their family caregivers with the new AML treatment. With the information we learn from this study, we will be able to develop an effective support program for patients with AML and their family caregivers to manage their symptoms at home and improve their quality of life.
To establish the recommended Phase II dose of a flavored preparation of orally administered irinotecan (VAL-413) when given in combination with temozolomide for 5 consecutive days.
To see if women who had breast cancer at ages 18-40 were able to successfully lactate and breastfeed after lumpectomy and radiation treatment afterwards.
Black men are diagnosed with prostate cancer more often than white men, and more commonly die from this disease. Care for advanced prostate cancer has improved a great deal over the past ten years, but these differences have continued. In order to improve equity in cancer care, we want to determine who is not getting the highest quality of care and whether race is associated with differences in care. Our study will ask Black and White men about their experiences with cancer care - if they trusted their doctors, how well their doctors communicated with them, and if they were satisfied with the care they received. We will ask about the challenges they experienced in receiving care, and what might have helped them get better care. We will use these results to design a better way to deliver care.
