What this research studies
You would join a group of about 3,000 Hispanic/Latino cancer survivors recruited in Miami and San Antonio. Researchers will collect health records, patient-reported outcomes, information about stress, lifestyle and social factors, and may collect biological samples over several years. The study includes people with many different cancer types and from diverse Hispanic backgrounds in both urban and rural communities. The aim is to find the factors that lead to better or worse survivorship so care and support can be improved for people like you.
Who could benefit from this research
Good fit: Hispanic/Latino adults who completed primary cancer treatment within the past two years, living in or near Miami or San Antonio, and willing to attend follow-up visits are the ideal candidates.
Not a fit: People who are not Hispanic/Latino, are still undergoing primary cancer treatment, or live far outside the study regions are unlikely to join or directly benefit from this study.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this work could lead to more personalized survivorship care and programs that improve health, symptom management, and quality of life for Hispanic/Latino survivors.
How similar studies have performed: Smaller or single-site studies have linked social, behavioral, and biological factors to survivor outcomes in Hispanic populations, but a large multi-site cohort focused on Hispanic/Latino survivors is relatively new.
