Filter by:This phase I/II research trial studies supportive care questionnaires in gathering data on unmet needs and health-related quality of life in Latina breast cancer survivors after surgery, chemotherapy, or radiation therapy. Questionnaires that address unmet supportive care needs and health-related quality of life of breast cancer survivors may help doctors learn about barriers to cancer care that are linked to language, acculturation, knowledge about diagnosis and care, and financial concerns. Learning about unmet needs of breast cancer patients may help increase quality of life and decrease healthcare utilization and costs.
This randomized clinical trial studies a support group program in improving quality of life in underserved urban Latina breast cancer survivors. A psychosocial support group program may help reduce distress and improve health-related quality of life in underserved urban Latina breast cancer survivors.
This pilot clinical trial studies how well a mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR) intervention works in reducing anxiety in patients who have undergone treatment for gynecologic cancer but no longer have any sign of disease. Gynecologic cancer is cancer of the female reproductive tract, which includes the cervix, endometrium, fallopian tubes, ovaries, uterus, and vagina. Side effects from treatment for these cancers may include anxiety, fatigue, depression, and sexual function changes. Mindfulness training uses meditation and yoga to help patients focus on breathing, bodily sensations, and mental awareness. This may help decrease patients' stress and anxiety and improve their quality of life, and may also help their immune system.
This pilot clinical trial studies the Harvesting Health Program in improving the diet and physical activity level of cancer survivors. Nutrition and physical activity classes and the opportunity to harvest fruits, vegetables, and herbs may increase participants' fruit and vegetable consumption and physical activity levels. Studying the participation rates and changes in participants' eating and physical activity habits may help doctors learn whether the program has an effect on participant lifestyle.
This randomized pilot trial studies how well an exercise intervention works in preventing breast cancer from coming back in postmenopausal breast cancer survivors. Regular exercise may be able to train the body to repair deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) more efficiently and to respond to inflammation more proficiently, helping to prevent primary and recurrent breast cancer.
This pilot clinical trial studies different types of energy balance interventions to see how well they work in increasing the physical activity levels of breast cancer gene-positive patients, Lynch syndrome-positive patients, chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) survivors or family members of cancer survivors who are at high risk for cancer. Increasing exercise and eating healthy foods may help reduce the risk of cancer. Studying how well different types of interventions work in motivating cancer survivors or high-risk family members to increase exercise and healthy food choices may help doctors plan the most effective motivational program for cancer prevention.
This randomized clinical trial studies survivorship care in reducing symptoms in young adult cancer survivors. Survivorship care programs that identify the needs of young adult cancer survivors and ways to support them through the years after treatment may help reduce symptoms, such as pain, fatigue, sleep disturbance, depression, and distress, in young adult cancer survivors.
This randomized clinical trial studies cognitive enhancement program in improving cognitive function in breast cancer survivors. A cognitive enhancement program may help improve cognitive function in breast cancer survivors and may help doctors plan better treatment for cognitive decline.
This pilot clinical trial studies survivorship care planning in supporting quality of life in ovarian cancer survivors following primary treatment. Survivorship care plans have the potential to empower patients and provide them with a plan of care following treatments. Survivorship care planning may support patient's overall well-being and quality of life after treatment of ovarian cancer.
This pilot clinical trial studies computed tomography (CT) scans and biomarker analysis in diagnosing coronary artery disease (CAD) in patients who have undergone a stem cell transplant but have no symptoms of CAD. CAD is a disease in which there is a narrowing or blockage of the coronary arteries (blood vessels that carry blood and oxygen to the heart) and patients who have undergone a stem cell transplant are at an especially high risk for CAD. A CT scan involves a series of detailed pictures of areas inside the body taken from different angles. The pictures are created by a computer linked to an x-ray machine. Studying samples of blood from patients who have undergone a stem cell transplant in the laboratory may help doctors identify and learn more about biomarkers related to CAD. Using a CT scan in combination with biomarker analysis may be a better and less-invasive way to diagnose CAD.
