Addressing Disparities in Colorectal Cancer Screening in Black and Underserved Phoenix Communities

ABSTRACT: This clinical trial studies disparities involving colorectal cancer prevention and screening in Black and underserved communities in the Phoenix metropolitan area. The Black community is disproportionately impacted by colorectal cancer, with the highest rate of any racial/ethnic group in the United States. There are complex reasons behind these disparities, largely related to socioeconomic factors and healthcare access. Providing access to free, home-based fecal immunochemical testing (FIT), colorectal screening education, and appropriate follow-up to predominantly Black community-based organizations and underserved communities may help to close this gap.

Cooperation Between PRMT1 and PRMT6 Drives Lung Cancer Health Disparities Among Black/African American Men

Project description:SUMMARY Non-Hispanic Black/African American (Black/AA) men in the United States have disproportionally higher incidence and mortality rates of lung cancer compared to non-Hispanic White (NHW) men. Biological factors are believed to play critical roles in driving the disparities. Nevertheless, large-scale genomic studies fail to identify significant somatic differences in lung cancer driver genes contributing to the disparities. Elevated expression of protein arginine methyltransferases (PRMTs) correlating with poorer prognosis is observed in many cancer types. Here, we observed a higher PRMT6 expression in lung cancer of Black/AA men compared to NHW men. PRMT6 formed a heteromer complex with PRMT1 to catalyze arginine methylation of interleukin enhancer-binding factor 2 essential for cell proliferation. Disrupting PRMT1/PRMT6 heteromer complex by a competitive peptide reduced cell proliferation in non-small cell lung cancer cell lines and lung cancer patient-derived organoids. This work implicates that PRMT1/PRMT6 heteromer complex contributes to poorer lung cancer outcomes in Black/AA men vs. NHW men that could serve as a target to eliminate cancer health disparities.

High throughput transcriptomic profiling of MCF10A cells exposed to breast cancer disparities associated chemicals

Project description:Analyzing the US Center for Disease Control’s National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey chemical biomarker data, we identified a suite of toxicants, including metals, pesticides, and personal care product compounds, to which non-Hispanic Black women are disproportionately exposed. To characterize the impact of these toxicants on breast cancer pathways, we performed high throughput transcriptomic analysis of toxicant exposed breast cells.

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.

Integrative Analysis of Genome-Wide Epigenetic and Transcriptomic Alterations Reveals Molecular Markers for Diagnosing Pediatric Obstructive Sleep Apnea in Black Females [WGBS]

Project description:This study explores the epigentic and transcriptomic changes associated with pediatric obstructive sleep apnea in Black female patients. By analyzing saliva samples, the study identifies dysregulated pathways and specific molecular markers, emphasizing the need for accessible diagnostic tools and addressing healthcare disparities in underrepresented population. The non-invasive approach using saliva samples offers potential for future research and improved diagnostics for pediatric OSA.

Colorectal Cancer Screening Intervention Trial

Project description:Colorectal cancer is the second deadliest among cancers and disproportionately affects African Americans. The Colorectal Cancer Screening Intervention Trial(CCSIT) project has as its goal to test three interventions designed to increase screening rates among medically underserved African Americans in the Metropolitan Atlanta area. It is designed to increase awareness of modifiable risk factors and promote the benefits of screening as a means of early detection of colorectal cancer. mportance of being screened for colorectal cancer,African Americans continue to be disproportionately affected by this disease.
