We are implementing a digital health intervention, mPATH-Cloud, in one community health center. Patients who receive a link to the mPATH-Cloud website will be able to view a video designed to help them choose the colorectal cancer (CRC) screening test that is best for them. Patients who select colonoscopy will receive a referral from their primary care provider. Patients who do not select colonoscopy will receive a FIT in the mail. We will assess the feasibility and effectiveness of implementing mPATH-Cloud in combination with mailed FIT outreach for increasing CRC screening among community health center patients.
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.
The purpose of this research study is to explore the post-treatment barriers faced by adolescent and young adult (AYA) cancer survivors to therefore adapt the Needs Assessment and Service Bridge (NA-SB) tool produced by the UNC AYA Cancer Program. You are being asked to take part in a research study because you are an adolescent or young adult who has experienced cancer survivorship.
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).
The purpose of this study is to identify specific barriers to preventing a late stage cancer diagnosis within communities identified in North Carolina as having a higher rate of advanced cancer diagnoses.
The purpose of this study is to create a registry that will collect clinical data from participants attending UNC Hospitals who may present with metastatic cancer and are evaluated to receive radiation therapy. We hope to create a registry that future studies can pull from to study the impacts of radiation therapy on patient cancer outcomes.
This is a study evaluating whether the use of an electronic web-based tool containing surveys could support patients and doctors make better treatment decisions together. New patients, 60 years or older, will be randomized to either receive the tool or not. Surveys will be collected from patients about their experience in making treatment decisions to evaluate whether the tool was beneficial.
To evaluate the safety and efficacy of streamlining Yttrium-90 radioembolization workflow for patients with small Hepatocellular Carcinoma (HCC) (<5cm) that have no aggressive features on baseline imaging.
You are being asked to participate in this study because you have an appointment at UNC Urology, and you have been diagnosed with prostate cancer. The purpose of this research study is to learn how either cryosurgery or prostatectomy procedures change the inflammatory response within the body. To do this, we will draw blood and analyze it for signs of inflammation before and after your standard of care procedure.
We are surveying families of pediatric hematology/oncology patients to find out their interest in and use of integrative and complementary health practices.
