This is a prospective observational cohort study. Breast cancer and lymphoma patients planned to receive cytotoxic therapy will be recruited at Yale and Mayo Clinic. The Study Period is 9 months, during which enrolled patients will use their personal smartphone, computer, or other web-connected device to connect with the Hugo platform which will deliver PRO questionnaires, and sync to the wearable device in the study (Fitbit). The PerfO (6MWT) will be conducted twice in clinic during the study period. Structured information from the electronic health record (EHR) and patient portals will be collected and where needed, the EHR will be directly reviewed to record AEs, hospitalizations/emergency department visits and dose delay/reductions. Required in-person face to face visit is only at baseline for consent, enrollment and receipt of wearable device; patients can be followed remotely afterward (i.e. do not need to be treated at Mayo or Yale)
Group dance classes have been found to improve markers of quality of life and physical health (i.e., balance) among some populations engaged in rehabilitation, such as the elderly and individuals with Parkinson Disease. However, such interventions have yet to be studied among cancer survivors despite the relevance of quality of life and physical health within cancer survivorship. Group dance classes are a promising avenue in that they deliver activity-based medicine in a social context, thus potentially improving physical as well as psychosocial aspects of health. To further this avenue of inquiry, we propose to study the effect of dance-based interventions for cancer survivors.
A complete family history (FH) may identify persons at high risk for certain conditions. They can be offered genetic testing and life-saving screening and treatment. In practice, complete FH is rarely collected or entered into the electronic medical record (EMR). The Family History Screening Questionnaire is a survey patients complete to tell whether they are at increased risk of specific cancers, heart disease or diabetes. We will test a new way to record FH that includes an app to improve use of FH by family physicians and patients. The strategy includes education for patients and physicians about the importance of FH; patient completion of the FH questionnaire prior to appointments; and prompts in the EMR. We expect this to help family physicians and patients interpret FH and make the best decisions. We will assess the proportion of patients with new EMR FH information. We will explore if the strategy increases appropriate referrals for screening and genetic consultation for those at increased FH risk. We will also obtain patients' and physicians' feedback on this strategy. This new approach may improve FH information exchange between patients and physicians, encourage shared decision-making and reduce cancer deaths and chronic disease burden.
The purpose of this study is to verify the effect of the intervention of a program of physical exercises and health education in women with breast cancer undergoing chemotherapy.
There are continued disparities in cancer incidence, mortality, and survival between American Indians (AIs) and Whites on cancers responsive to early screening (i.e., breast, colorectal, and cervical) in the US. In New Mexico (NM), AIs compared with other racial/ethnic populations are significantly less likely to adhere to recommended screening guidelines. The purpose of this trial is to develop and pilot test multilevel/multicomponent intervention strategies to enhance screening for breast, colorectal, and cervical cancers.
This is an RCT pilot study to explore the potential effects of the Guided Imagery & Music method for women with breast or gynecologic cancer, during active treatment. The study explores the potential impact in quality of life parameters such as mood, fatigue, and hope.
The Adventist Health Study-2 is a long-term study, exploring the links between lifestyle, diet, and disease outcomes among Seventh-day Adventists. More than 96,000 church members from the U.S. and Canada are participating in the current study, AHS-2, conducted by researchers at the Loma Linda University School of Public Health.
The Decisions about Cancer screening in Alzheimer's Disease (DECAD) study is the first study to test if an evidence-based decision aid for AD caregivers can support decision-making about mammography and improve the quality of medical decision-making about breast cancer screening. This large randomized controlled trial will recruit up to 450 dyads (900 individual participants) of older women with AD and a family caregiver, for a goal of 426 dyad baselines (852 individual participants), from 24 primary care practices in central Indiana to test this decision aid.
