Social Health, Activity Behaviors, and Quality of Life Among Young Adult Cancer Survivors

Social Health, Activity Behaviors, and Quality of Life Among Young Adult Cancer Survivors: A Longitudinal Study

Important: This information is not medical advice. Talk to your doctor about whether a clinical trial is right for you.

About This Trial

This study assesses how personal relationships (such as friendships, family relationships, or romantic partners) influence the physical activity (exercise) and well-being of young adult cancer survivors. Researchers also hope to learn how social relationships change after a cancer diagnosis, and how these changes might impact important health behaviors. The information provided may help researchers learn more about better ways to support young cancer patients in the future through interventions that help maintain good social relationships and health levels of physical activity.

Who May Be Eligible (Plain English)

Who May Qualify: - Diagnosed and/or treated with cancer between ages 18-39 at USC hospitals. - Cancer types prototypical for adolescents and young adults (AYAs) and cancer stages I-III; select patients with stage IV disease may be eligible, with approval by the principal investigator (PI) and in consultation with the treating clinician. - Must be within three months of a de novo cancer diagnosis at recruitment and on/indicated for curative therapy (any modality). Patients may continue on adjuvant therapy throughout duration of the study. - Patients must have anticipated survival of \>1-year at time of diagnosis. Who Should NOT Join This Trial: - Diagnosis of blood malignancies such as leukemias (these cancers have divergent treatment patterns of longer duration than other cancers and are more commonly pediatric cancers). Some early stage lymphomas with favorable prognoses may be eligible, with approval by the PI and in consultation with the treating clinician. - Primary language other than English or Spanish. - Inability to complete a survey and/or wear an accelerometer either per the patient or in consultation with the clinician's judgment. Always talk to your doctor about whether this trial is right for you.
