Patient Studies

Individuals diagnosed with appendix cancer who are ages 18+ years are being recruited to participate in the Genetics of Appendix Cancer (GAP) Study. 

The PREFACE Study examines the ways in which reproductive and sexual health change over time for adults diagnosed with colorectal cancer before age 50. This information may help us develop new strategies to improve cancer survivorship and reproductive health for young patients.

Individuals diagnosed with a first primary cancer between the ages of 18 and 49 years were recruited over an 8-week period to answer sociodemographic, cancer and cancer impact/quality of life, reproductive health and fertility, sexual health, and energy balance questions via a secure, web-based REDCap platform. Data analysis is currently underway with the goal of determining the most important areas that remain unaddressed to support this population of patients diagnosed with an early-onset cancer.
