Patients will undergo a blood draw for a gene classifier test. Some patients will have their physicians informed of the result, and another group of patients will be randomized to be managed by standard of care. Qualifying patients have incidentally identified lung nodules assessed as < 50% risk of cancer.
This is a study to assess patient, provider, and pharmacist perceptions of delivering FIT kits for colorectal cancer screening in pharmacy settings.
This project is a randomized clinical trial (study that randomly assigns participants to one arm to fairly understand outcomes) that aims to assess if information from gene expression classifier (GEC) testing is helpful for both patients and their doctors in the management of care for newly diagnosed prostate cancer patients.
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.

We are working to translate and validate a survey that looks at symptom management and quality of life for patients in Malawi getting palliative care treatment to make sure that the survey is applicable, relatable, and understandable for these patients.
This study seeks to promote clinical trial engagement in African Americans with pancreatic cancer. The first group of people will be interviewed by phone to discuss clinical trials. This information will be used to create a new mobile health app/website. In the second group, half of the participants will receive the new app and half will not. They will both be asked to complete questionnaires after their upcoming doctor visits.
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
The purpose of this study is to to determine the efficacy (as measured by Neurocognitive testing) of oral memantine administered for a period of 6 months, when compared to placebo, in children ages 4-18 receiving cranial or craniospinal radiotherapy for primary central nervous system tumors.
You are being asked to participate in this research study because you have a type of tumor called a Central Nervous System (CNS) tumor, and you are scheduled to have surgery to remove this tumor. The study team wants to use left-over tumor samples from this surgery to study your tumor and test new ways to fight it.
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.
