NCT07461493
The goal of this observational study is to establish a patient registry and a biorepository (sample collection and storage) to investigate health disparities, access, and barriers to cancer screening and early detection technologies. The registry and biorepository will serve as a resource to support Cancer Early Detection (CED) screenings and future research focused on communities at increased risk for cancer. The study seeks to address: •Barriers and disparities in cancer prevention, screening, and treatment, particularly in historically underrepresented populations. Participants will: * Attend a minimum of five clinic visits over a five-year period for scheduled annual assessments while actively enrolled in the study. * Complete questionnaires at each visit that collect information on their medical history, cancer history, and family cancer history. * Allow relevant health information from their electronic health records (EHR) to be collected and reviewed. * Provide blood, saliva, and stool samples for research purposes. * Enter a long-term follow-up period for an additional five years.
NCT07225920
A geriatric assessment (GA) is a structured approach to identifying and addressing the strengths and vulnerabilities of older adults with cancer. They can improve the quality of cancer care for older adults and lower side effects. It is recommended a GA be administered prior to the start of non-hormonal systemic therapy for all older adults. Despite these guidelines, only a small percentage of practices report administering them. The practical geriatric assessment (PGA) was developed to help oncology practices perform GAs. It aims to provide a brief way to evaluate older patients' physical health along with other important things like support network and impact to the patient's daily life. Typically, clinics do not receive extra training on delivering the PGA. Providing training and support for staff at cancer clinics may help deliver the enhanced PGA to older adult cancer patients who are starting a new-hormonal systemic therapy. This clinical trial looks at whether providing training and support for staff at cancer clinics can help them deliver patient check-ups (e.g., PGA) specifically designed for adults \>= 65 years old (older adults) starting a new non-hormonal systemic cancer therapy. The usual approach clinics use when starting these cancer therapy courses with an older adult may vary considerably.
