Filter by:The aim of this study is to evaluate the impact of participation in Cancer Clear and Simple (CC&S) educational sessions on cancer prevention and screening. The researchers will recruit 60 community members: 30 will receive CC&S training (intervention group) and 30 will not (control group). All 60 will be surveyed about their intent to change their behavior at the beginning of the study and their actual behavior changes and their screening behavior 6 months after enrollment in the study.
The overarching goal of this project is to improve communication between oncologists and their patients by ensuring that the patient's voice is heard in the medical encounter. Thus, the hope is to improve the experience for patients living with cancer. The investigators seek to accomplish this goal by providing oncologists communication skills training that includes feedback on their own audio-recorded conversations. The feedback will come from two sources: 1) Professional research assistant coders who will identify objective learning opportunities based on specific coding criteria and 2) Trained patient reviewers who will listen to the recordings and offer their own, subjective feedback at key moments in the encounters.
EVALUATE THE CARE PROCESS AND THE QUALITY OF CARE FOR ADULT CANCER PATIENTS WHO ARE ADMITTED FOR COLORECTAL SURGERY
This pilot study is designed to adapt a community-based diabetes prevention program to reach adults at risk for cancer.
This investigation aims to apply and test the acceptability of an acceptance, mindfulness and compassionate-based intervention structured for cancer patients. MIND programme for cancer thus comprises 8 weekly group sessions, lasting 1 and a half hour each, run in small groups at an Oncology Service at the Coimbra's University Hospital. For each week participants have assigned homework (e.g., mindfulness exercises). This programme mainly aims to increase participants' physical and psychosocial quality of life, and attenuate depressed mood and anxiety.
The study evaluates the safety and activity of NOX66 in patients with refractory solid tumors that are non responsive to standard therapies. This is a two part with a potential third part, open-label, multicenter, dose escalation study of NOX66 as monotherapy and in combination with carboplatin.
To test the efficacy of a web-based stepped collaborative care intervention to reduce symptoms of depression, pain, and fatigue and improve health-related quality of life (HRQL) in advanced cancer patients and to reduce stress and depression, and fewer CVD risk factors in caregivers.
This innovative and timely study will measure the impact of Affordable Care Act (ACA) Medicaid expansions on cancer screenings and preventive services. To assess this natural policy experiment, the investigators will use electronic health record data from the Accelerating Data Value Across a National Community Health Center Network (ADVANCE) clinical data research network (CDRN) of the National Patient-Centered Clinical Research Network (PCORnet).
The goal of this clinical research study is to compare high-flow oxygen, low-flow oxygen, high-flow air, and low-flow air in helping to decrease shortness of breath in cancer patients. Researchers also want to learn if these therapies can help to improve lung function and quality of life.
This is a Phase 1/2A study designed to evaluate the safety and tolerability of increased repeated doses of LYC-55716 in subjects with locally advanced or metastatic solid tumors.
