Evaluating the Impact of Social and Genetic Factors on Outcomes in Adolescent and Young Adult Cancer Survivors

Description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVE:

I. To establish the association of social-environmental risk factors on both disease-free survival (DFS) and overall survival (OS) for adolescent and young adult cancer survivors.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To establish the associations of individual resilience factors on DFS and OS for adolescent and young adult cancer survivors.

II. To establish the associations of social-environmental risk factors and individual resilience factors on quality of life (QOL) for adolescent and young adult cancer survivors.

III. To quantify the extent to which alterations in human gene expression could potentially mediate the effects of social-environmental risk factors and individual resilience factors on DFS, and OS for adolescent and young adult cancer survivors.

EXPLORATORY OBJECTIVE:

I. To determine whether the relationship between social-environmental risk factors or individual resilience factors and distal outcomes may be moderated by race/ethnicity, sex and gender identity, and geography for adolescent and young adult cancer survivors.

OUTLINE: This is an observational study.

Participants complete questionnaires about health-related quality of life and undergo collection of blood samples at baseline and 6, 12, 18, and 24 months.
