|
 | Androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) is increasingly prescribed to patients with prostate cancer and brings with it an array of adverse effects. Hot flashes are a common side effect of ADT and are believed to be qualitatively similar to hot flashes among women - receiving treatment for breast cancer. Currently no assessment protocols exist for objective assessments of hot flashes in prostate cancer patients, making it difficult to evaluate outcomes in ... |

|
| This project proposed to develop, implement, and evaluate a peer- staffed toll-free hotline for individuals at high risk of developing hereditary breast cancer, either through family history or known BRCA1/2 mutations. The project is designed to demonstrate the acceptability and effectiveness of this tool for meeting the needs of these individuals and their families, and documents the range of problems for which assistance is sought. We have designed and implemented ... |

| Predictive testing is now possible for altered genes which convey heightened risk of breast and ovarian cancer. Testing is already being offered to our sample of high-risk women who have been participating in genetic linkage and mutation studies and it is becoming more generally available. In the absence of prior research, we are faced with a need for basic descriptive data concerning women at high-risk for early onset breast cancer ... |

| Predictive testing is now possible for mutations of genes which convey high risk of breast cancer, as well as an unknown increase in the risk for ovarian cancer. Testing is already being offered to our sample of high-risk women who have been participating in genetic linkage and mutation studies, but testing has also become more generally available. In the absence of a large body of relevant prior research, we are ... |
