Facilitators and Barriers to Cancer Screening: Stakeholder Perspectives on Implementation

ABSTRACT: The rate of screening for colorectal cancer (CRC) in the U.S. remains low (under 65%), meaning that thousands of people die of colorectal cancer unnecessarily. Colorectal cancer screening tests range from more invasive and very sensitive for polyps and cancer (colonoscopy) to less invasive and less sensitive (e.g., fecal immunochemical testing (FIT)). Screening rates go up when patients consider all these tests, not just colonoscopy. Informing patients about their options for CRC screening could produce higher quality decisions, improve the match between patient preferences and tests performed, and increase uptake of CRC screening. Decision aids (DAs) are a promising tool for accomplishing this goal. Also, precision CRC prevention - providing information about an individual’s specific risk for CRC - has great promise to increase uptake and improve decision making. Unfortunately, the COVID-19 pandemic is causing severe challenges to providing CRC screening and other prevention services. Health systems are trying to adapt, but these efforts have only begun and are poorly understood. Moreover, patient perceptions of disease risk and risk from COVID-19 are unknown.

Information With or Without Numbers For Optimizing Reasoning About Medical Decisions

Project description:Experts believe that increasing the low uptake of screening for colorectal cancer (CRC) requires educating patients about all approved tests and helping them choose one that fits their preferences. As one motto puts it: "The best test is the one that gets done." Screening tests range from more invasive and very sensitive for polyps and cancer (colonoscopy) to less invasive and less sensitive (e.g., fecal immunochemical testing (FIT)). But it is unclear how best to educate patients about the options and the tradeoffs involved. Some guidelines recommend that decision aids, a promising tool in this area, provide patients with detailed quantitative information, including baseline risk, risk reduction, and chance of negative outcomes. But this sort of "comparative effectiveness" data can confuse patients, especially those with limited mathematical ability. Previous studies have not measured the effect of providing quantitative information to patients with varying levels of ability or interest or asked them whether such data is essential for their decision-making. The investigators will conduct a clinical trial to determine the impact on patients who view a decision aid (DA) that includes quantitative information versus a DA without such data. The investigators will also seek to determine whether numeracy moderates the effect of quantitative information.

Multiple Early Factors Anticipate Post-Acute COVID-19 Sequelae

Project description:Post-acute sequelae of COVID-19 (PASC) represent an emerging global crisis. However, quantifiable risk-factors for PASC and their biological associations are poorly resolved. We executed a deep multi-omic, longitudinal investigation of 309 COVID-19 patients from initial diagnosis to convalescence (2-3 months later), integrated with clinical data, and patient-reported symptoms. We resolved four PASC-anticipating risk factors at the time of initial COVID-19 diagnosis: type 2 diabetes, SARS-CoV-2 RNAemia, Epstein-Barr virus viremia, and specific autoantibodies. In patients with gastrointestinal PASC, SARS-CoV-2-specific and CMV-specific CD8+ T cells exhibited unique dynamics during recovery from COVID-19. Analysis of symptom-associated immunological signatures revealed coordinated immunity polarization into four endotypes exhibiting divergent acute severity and PASC. We find that immunological associations between PASC factors diminish over time leading to distinct convalescent immune states. Detectability of most PASC factors at COVID-19 diagnosis emphasizes the importance of early disease measurements for understanding emergent chronic conditions and suggests PASC treatment strategies.

Clinical and immunological signatures of severe COVID-19 in previously healthy patients with clonal hematopoiesis

Project description:Many clinical risk factors for severe COVID-19, such as diabetes, hypertension, and high body mass index have been reported. However, searching for additional risk factors should be continued to predict the progression of severe COVID-19 more accurately. We suppose that clonal hematopoiesis of indeterminate potential (CHIP) can also be regarded as one of risk factors. To identify the influence of CHIP in COVID-19 pathogenesis, we performed single-cell RNA-seq using peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) obtained from severe COVID-19 patient with CHIP and integrate the data with other published COVID-19 scRNA seq data (GSE149689). After clustering and annotating cell types, we compare the expression profiles between CHIP vs non-CHIP COVID-19 severe patient.

SARS-CoV-2 infects human pancreatic β-cells and elicits β-cell impairment

Project description:Emerging evidence points towards an intricate relationship between the pandemic coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) and diabetes. While diabetes is associated with an increased risk of severe COVID-19, new-onset type 1 diabetes (T1D) has been observed in COVID-19 patients, convoluting diabetes as both a risk factor and consequence of COVID-19. Understanding the mechanistic relationship between COVID-19 and T1D is an urgent and critical public health challenge. One pressing question is whether insulin-producing pancreatic β-cells can be infected by SARS-CoV-2, as T1D is a direct consequence of β-cell depletion. Here, we find that the SARS-CoV-2 receptor, ACE2 and its related entry factors, TMPRSS2, NRP1, and TRFC, are expressed in β-cells, with the latter two selectively present within β-cells. We discover that SARS-CoV-2 has selective cellular tropism for human pancreatic β-cells both ex vivo and in patients with COVID-19. We demonstrate that SARS-CoV-2 infection lowers the abundance of insulin within the pancreas, attenuates glucose-stimulated insulin secretion, and induces β-cell apoptosis. Finally, phosphoproteomic and pathway analysis suggests a SARS-CoV-2 stimulated signature for induction of apoptosis-associated signaling pathways in β-cells, similar to that seen in T1D. Taken together, our study demonstrates that SARS- CoV-2 can directly cause pancreatic islet impairment by killing β-cells, providing a mechanistic explanation for why T1D develops in COVID-19 patients.

Helping Patients and Providers Make Better Decisions About Colorectal Cancer Screening

Project description:Precision prevention holds great promise for colorectal cancer (CRC) screening but has not been adequately explored. A patient’s chance of having an advanced colorectal neoplasm (ACN), i.e. a cancer or precancerous polyp in the colon, significantly affects the comparative effectiveness of approved tests. Giving patients a decision aid with information about their risk for ACN, and giving their providers similar information, could help patients and providers decide if colonoscopy or a non-invasive test (such as the fecal immunochemical test) is more appropriate. This could improve decision making and increase uptake of CRC screening, which are the investigative team’s long-term goals.

Single Nuclei RNA Sequencing Analysis of Cardiac Microthrombi in Fatal Covid-19

Project description:Cardiac microthrombi have been variably identified at autopsy of Covid-19 decedents. Little is known about the morphologic and molecular changes associated with cardiac microthrombi and whether predictive biomarkers exist. We sought to determine the prevalence, pathogenesis, and biomarker risk factors of Covid-19-associated cardiac microthrombi. In addition to histology and immunohistochemical analyses, we investigated right verticles from 8 Covid-19 decedents via single nuclei RNA sequencing for cell-type specific transcriptional differences between hearts with and without microthrombi, as well as between Covid-19 decedents and publicly available non-Covid-19 donor controls.

Proteomic Investigation Reveals Dominant Alterations of Neutrophil Degranulation and mRNA Translation Pathways in COVID-19 Patients

Project description:The altered molecular proteins and pathways in response to COVID-19 infection are still unclear. Here, we performed a comprehensive proteomics-based investigation of of nasopharyngeal swab samples from COVID-19 patients to identify viral and host peptides by employing simple extraction strategies and also established a panel of host proteins using high-resolution mass spectrometry. The differentially expressed peptides/proteins identified from host and pathogen correlated with the viral load of the host which indicates that these proteins might be good prognostic biomarkers of severity prediction. A few host proteins such as Interleukin-6, L-lactate dehydrogenase, C-reactive protein, Ferritin and Aspartate aminotransferase was found to be upregulated in COVID-19 positive patients using targeted MRM study. Further, the proteins L-lactate dehydrogenase, Aspartate aminotransferase and Alanine aminotransferase was also validated in the clinical settings using immunological assays. We also identified neutrophil degranulation, platelet degranulation, interleukin-12 signaling pathways, mRNA translation of proteins and , co-factor metabolomic process protein metabolism, and stress responses to be key GO enriched pathways, thus altered in the COVID-19 infected patients.providing the detailed investigation of host response in COVID-19 infection , thus providing the landscape of COVID-19 pathophysiology. This study thus also revealed that mass spectrometry-based detected host proteins/peptides has a potential for clinical translation and a few proteins might be routinely monitored in clinics for the disease progression, peptide tests can be used by clinicians for diagnosis as well as identified pathways/ markers as the predictors of disease progression. Furthermore, the identified proteins and their drug binding studies might aid in COVID-19 therapeutic interventions.

Improving Cancer Screening and Prevention During the COVID-19 Pandemic in Underserved Populations of Rhode Island

Project description:Lifespan Cancer Institute serves over 50% of cancer patients in the state. Rhode Island is known for strong medical care and high rates of cancer screening with mammography and colonoscopy. However, cancer screening has plummeted during the COVID-19 pandemic, in part to closing physician offices and stopping non-urgent medical procedures. In addition, anecdotal reports suggest the public remains concerned about returning to physician’s offices and risking possible exposure to COVID-19. As in the United States as a whole, COVID-19 has disproportionately impacted ethnic and minority individuals within underserved communities; and in Rhode Island, African Americans, Hispanics and undocumented individuals living in communities such as Central Falls, Pawtucket, Providence, East Providence and North Providence have had the highest rate of COVID-19. These communities are also impacted by healthcare disparities to access and affordability of healthcare, and as such, may be among the least likely to resume cancer screening. The Lifespan Cancer Institute will institute a project to address health disparities in cancer screening during the pandemic through the use of a targeted campaign involving social media. The goals will be to re-establish screening in the era of COVID-19 and ensure timeliness of care for those found to be at risk, or are positive for, cancer.

Small RNA-seq analysis of serum miRNAs in patients with severe COVID-19

Project description:The clinical course of Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) displays a wide variability, ranging from completely asymptomatic forms to diseases associated with severe clinical outcomes. To reduce the incidence COVID-19 severe outcomes, innovative molecular biomarkers are needed to improve the stratification of patients at the highest risk of mortality and to better customize therapeutic strategies. MicroRNAs associated with COVID-19 outcomes could allow quantifying the risk of severe outcomes and developing models for predicting outcomes, thus helping to customize the most aggressive therapeutic strategies for each patient. Here, we analyzed the circulating miRNA profiles in a set of 12 hospitalized patients with severe COVID-19, with the aim to identify miRNAs associated with in-hospital mortality.

CYP19A1 mediated sex hormone metabolism promotes severe disease outcome in SARS-CoV-2 infected male golden hamsters

Project description:Male sex belongs to one of the risk factors for severe COVID-19 outcome. However, underlying mechanisms that could affect sex dependent disease outcome are yet unknown. Here, we identified the CYP19A1 gene encoding for the testosterone-to-estradiol metabolizing enzyme CYP19A1 (alias aromatase) as a host factor that contributes to worsened disease outcome in male hamsters. SARS-CoV-2 infection increases CYP19A1 transcription most prominently in the lungs of male animals, which correlates with reduced circulating testosterone and increased circulating estradiol levels. Dysregulated sex hormone levels in male golden hamsters are associated with reduced lung function compared to females. Treatment of SARS-CoV-2 infected hamsters with letrozole, a clinically approved CYP19A1 inhibitor, supported recovery of dysregulated sex hormone levels and was associated with improved lung function in male but not female animals compared to placebo controls. Whole-lung transcriptome analysis in letrozole treated versus placebo treated control groups revealed key pathways associated with improved lung health in males. To seek translation of these findings into humans, we analyzed autopsy-derived lung samples of COVID-19 cases from three independent study sites. We found that CYP19A1 transcription and protein expression is strongly elevated in the lungs of men who died with COVID-19 as compared to females or non-COVID-19 controls. Our findings highlight the role of the lung as a yet unrecognized but critical organ involved in metabolic responses against respiratory virus infections. Furthermore, inhibition of CYP19A1 by the clinically approved drug letrozole may pose a new therapeutic strategy to reduce poor long-term COVID-19 outcome.
