A Study of the Effectiveness of Specialist Oncology Nursing Case Management in Improving Continuity of Supportive Cancer Care in the Community (SONICS)
This research project will address the issue of gaps in continuity of supportive care for cancer patients during the early phases of the disease trajectory that result in unmet needs and unnecessary morbidity. The investigators intend to study the impact of a specialized cancer-nursing program, Interlink Community Cancer Nurses (Interlink) on patient outcomes. Impact will be assessed directly using a validated measure of continuity of care from the patients' perspective and validated measures of key supportive care patient outcomes including unmet needs, distress, uncertainty in illness, and quality of life, in a randomized trial.

Mindfulness-based Stress Reduction in Supportive Cancer Treatment: Effects of a Day-care Clinic Group Program on Psychometric Parameters in Cancer Patients (Stressbewältigung Durch Achtsamkeit in Der Supportiven Onkologischen Therapie (SASO): Auswirkung Eines Tagesklinischen Gruppenprogramms Auf Psychometrische Parameter Bei Krebspatienten)
Emotional and mental symptoms are common consequences of cancer diagnosis and treatment. Coping with these symptoms seems to be influenced by interpretation of illness, locus of health control and spiritual attitudes in dealing with illness. Mindfulness-based stress reduction has been shown to reduce physical and mental symptoms in cancer patients. The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of a mindfulness-based day-care clinic group program on quality of life, anxiety and depression in cancer patients and to evaluate the association with coping styles, spiritual attitudes in dealing with illness, mindfulness and interpretation of illness.

Enhancing End-of-Life and Bereavement Outcomes Among Cancer Caregivers: Symptom Care by Phone for Hospice Caregiver Support and Cancer Symptom Relief
Improving end-of-life care and the suffering caused by poorly controlled symptoms is an important public health concern. The development of an automated telephone symptom monitoring and support system that assists caregivers in providing end-of-life care and communicating information to the patient's hospice nurse has the potential to enhance the management of common end of life symptoms, thus reducing the suffering of patients at end of life as well as the suffering of their family caregivers. This study has developed such a system and is testing the effectiveness of this system.

The Alberta Cancer Exercise "ACE" Program for Cancer Survivors: Supporting Community-based Exercise Participation for Health Promotion and Secondary Cancer Prevention
The primary purpose of this proposed 5-year hybrid effectiveness and implementation study is to evaluate the relative benefit from, and implementation of an Alberta wide clinic-to-community-based cancer and exercise model of care - the Alberta Cancer Exercise (ACE) Program. The investigators hypothesize that the strategy will improve the physical well-being and QoL of survivors (on and off cancer treatment) while preventing the development of secondary cancers.

Utilizing Spheres of Influence to Increase Cancer Screening: Empowering Community Health Advocates
This clinical trial assesses the use of advocates and supporters of breast and lung cancer screening to increase lung cancer screening rates amongst eligible participants. Imaging-based cancer screening is utilized with variable frequency. Breast cancer screening with mammography has been widely accepted and is commonly used among eligible women. Lung screening with computed tomography scans is poorly used, despite the potential to decrease deaths from lung cancer. There are many reasons lung screening isn't being used when compared to breast screening, such as smoking stigma and fear, along with a lack of awareness of lung screening. By conducting this trial, researchers want to assess the effectiveness of advocates and supporters of breast and lung screening, and to learn about the psychological barriers to cancer screening, identifying those that are unique to lung screening.

REsearch on BrEast Cancer Induced Chronic Conditions Supported by Causal Analysis of Multi-source Data
REBECCA-1 is an observational study. Clinical research is undergoing a revolutionary change. The use of electronic patient records (EHR), digital registers, smartphones etc will create "real-world data" (RWD) that provides great opportunities for advancing clinical research, but so far this opportunity has been little exploited. The REBECCA -1 study will observe and monitor fatigue in breast cancer survivors. Investigators will use self reported questionnaires (PROM-data), blood tests and objective regulations like the REBECCCA -1 smart watch that will register amount of steps every day, leaving the house, visiting friends, cafes etc. There will be three observational arms; 1.high fatigue, 2. low fatigue and 3. a healthy control arm. After the patients have finished their treatment, they will receive the REBECCA smart watch, a REBECCA app on the smart phone and a REBECCA plus device on their computer, The next offend are also invited to report their evaluation through the same apps. The observational time will be 1 year and comparison between the subjective PROM data , the objective REBECCA watch and the biological samples will be obtained.

ADVANTAGE: Addressing Disparities for Veterans and African Americans Through Peer-Navigation for Testing and Genetic Evaluation
This clinical trial evaluates whether having a trained peer navigator helps African American men with prostate cancer that has spread to other parts of the body (metastatic) understand and navigate the genetic testing process better than not having a peer navigator. Genetic testing for men with prostate cancer is very important for making treatment and management decisions. However, understanding the risks, benefits, and steps of genetic counseling and testing can be very challenging for patients. African American men are especially less likely to participant in genetic testing due to lack of awareness or understanding, cultural beliefs, finances, or mistrust of the healthcare system. A peer navigator, someone who helps a patient through the information and the process, may be helpful to some men. This study evaluates whether having a peer navigator throughout the genetic evaluation process helps patients understand and engage in the process more.
