Cancer is the leading cause of death among Latinos, largest minority population in United States (US). To address cancer challenges experienced by we conducted a catchment area assessment (CAPA) using validated questions from National Institute (NCI) health supplement at our NCI-designated center California.A mixed-methods CAPA was administered bilingual-bicultural staff, with focus on understanding differences between foreign-born and US-born Latinos.255 Latinos responded to survey August...
Abstract To understand multiple myeloma (MM) disparities we established the Precision MEDicine, EqUity and Disparities Research in MultipLe MyeLomA (MEDULLA) study, a population-based study California. Our contacted, via Cancer Registry of Greater California (CRGC), 100 adult MM patients from four racial/ethnic groups: Non-Hispanic Black (NHB), White (NHW), Latinos, Asians. Data collection included variables reported to CRGC, self-administered survey, biospecimen saliva collection. The...
Abstract Precision medicine holds great promise for improving cancer outcomes. Yet, there are large inequities in the demographics of patients from whom genomic data and models, including patient-derived xenografts (PDX), developed treatments optimized. In this study, we a genetic ancestry pipeline Cancer Genomics Cloud, which used to assess diversity models currently available National Institute–supported PDX Development Trial Centers Research Network (PDXNet). We showed that is an...
