The aim of this project is to examine cellular and genomic markers of inflammation, telomere erosion, telomere length, and microarray data of 300 breast cancer survivors and comparison women who are enrolled in the KPSC-UCLA collaborative STRIVE1 and STRIVE2 studies.

The major goals of the project are to evaluate the effectiveness of a web-based decision aid on improving knowledge about breast cancer screening in women age 40 to 49 and reducing decisional conflict about breast cancer screening, and to explore the acceptability and feasibility of large-scale implementation.

The aim of this cohort is to assess the risk of cardiovascular disease associated with endocrine treatments for breast cancer.

The goal of this observational study is to evaluate the average risk of febrile neutropenia (FN) in patients receiving chemotherapy regimens with previously undefined FN risk.

The goal of this project is to evaluate the long-term health outcomes, including mortality, second cancer and comorbidities among survivors of adolescent and young adult cancer. The magnitude of risk increase of specific late effects associated with specific cancer therapeutic exposure will also be characterized.

The aim of this investigation initiated retrospective cohort study are to examine long-term health effects in the cohort of CML and determine if health effects vary by drug adherence to TKIs.

The goal of this mixed methods study is to develop and test interventions to reduce use of surveillance biomarkers for early stage breast cancer patients.

This study will examine the role of cruciferous vegetable intake, in conjunction with genetic polymorphisms related to ITC metabolism, in potentially reducing disease recurrence and progression, and increasing the efficacy of intravesical bladder cancer treatment.

The primary objective of this study is to estimate the resource utilization and direct medical expenditure associated with neutropenia and febrile neutropenia, in Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma, Breast cancer and Lung cancer patients. The secondary objective is to determine the trend of incidence of neutropenia with and without fever in Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma, Breast cancer and Lung cancer. The study will also describe management patterns and evaluate trend of management patterns for febrile neutropenia. Lastly, we will also estimate the febrile neutropenia specific mortality rate in hospitalized patients by cancer type.

This project aims to evaluate adherence to Children’s Oncology Group Long-Term Follow-up Guidelines and population preventive care guidelines among survivors of adolescent and young adult (AYA) cancer.

The goal of this project was to understand the cancer risks associated with use of glargine, an insulin medication. This study compared the risk of several types of cancer among individuals with diabetes who used glargine to those using NPH, another type of insulin.

Dr. Haque was awarded travel funds to attend conferences related to hereditary cancers.

The goal of this project is to develop DNA methylation marker-based prediction algorithms that will assist clinicians when providing therapeutic recommendations for men with localized prostate cancer.

The goal of this project is to estimate the impact of bariatric surgery versus routine non-surgical care on the incidence of cancer (all types) in all severely obese patients (men and women).

This project focuses on implementation and effectiveness of an evidence-based guideline recommendation for systematic distress screening for breast cancer patients.

The specific aim of the Cancer Care Delivery Research portion of this program is to conduct and help design cancer care delivery research within the National Community Oncology Research Program (NCORP

The goal of this study is to investigate whether the genetic variation in the human leukocyte antigen and other key a priori genes linked to human leukocyte antigen, including tumor necrosis factor play a role in non-Hodgkin lymphoma prognosis and overall survival.

This cohort study examines the long-term clinical outcomes of women with breast cancer who are BRCA mutation carriers.

The goal is to assess fatal and morbid outcomes up to 15 years following androgen deprivation therapy for men initially diagnosed with localized prostate cancer.

This study aims to explore rational combination therapies aimed at cytoreduction of advanced tumors followed by antibody-mediated immune checkpoint inhibition to stimulate adaptive T cell anti-lymphoma immunity. We will study a large cohort of human diffuse large B cell (DLBCL) samples and utilize syngeneic, immunocompetent mouse lymphoma models that mimic the varied sensitivity of human B cell NHL to kinase inhibitors

The major goals of this project are to develop innovative risk-adaptive models of cancer surveillance for colorectal, chronic myeloid leukemia, and prostate cancer using value-of-information statistical methodology.

The goal of this study is to evaluate the feasibility of determining the occurrence of neutropenia and febrile neutropenia as well as cancer treatment using electronic medical records.

This study examines if depression and its treatment can affect the course of prostate cancer.

The goal of this study it to evaluate patterns of medical imaging associated with cumulative exposure to radiation (CT, nuclear medicine, fluoroscopy, angiography, and radiography), and subsequent risk of childhood cancers.

The goal of this prospective recruitment study is to evaluate longitudinal differences in the rates of change in inflammation and telomere erosion in breast cancer survivors vs. non-cancer comparison women to determine if such molecular changes are due to cancer biology, or its treatment, or consequences of aging.

The aim of this prospective study is to examine the association between sleep disturbance, cellular and genomic markers of inflammation, and depression occurrence in breast cancer survivors.

The goal of this prospective recruitment study is to determine if ovarian cancer screening is enhanced by more frequent biomarker testing (CA125 & HE4) versus usual testing frequency in women with BRCA1/2 mutations.

The goal of this study is to gain insight and understanding into planned and implemented processes of survivorship care in diverse health care settings.
