Short Title: Guidance/GU010

This phase III trial uses the Decipher risk score to guide intensification (for higher Decipher gene risk) or de-intensification (for low Decipher gene risk) of treatment to better match therapies to an individual patient's cancer aggressiveness. The Decipher risk score evaluates a prostate cancer tumor for its potential for spreading. In patients with low risk scores, this trial compares radiation therapy alone to the usual treatment of radiation therapy and hormone therapy (androgen deprivation therapy).

Short Title: PREDICT-RT/GU009

This phase III trial compares less intense hormone therapy and radiation therapy to usual hormone therapy and radiation therapy in treating patients with high risk prostate cancer and low gene risk score. This trial also compares more intense hormone therapy and radiation therapy to usual hormone therapy and radiation therapy in patients with high risk prostate cancer and high gene risk score.

• Read more about High-Risk Breast Cancer Registry

The purpose of this registry is to collect data on patients at high risk for breast cancer or who have been diagnosed with breast cancer at MD Anderson Cancer Center at Cooper. The importance of the registry is to create a single institution database of individuals (men or women) at increased risk for developing breast cancer or individuals who have had a prior history of breast cancer. The data provided by a site-specific cancer registry can play a significant role in future planning of cancer control programs, in screening and early detection, and in contributing to improved breast cancer care.

Short Title: Financial Toxicity

This study investigates the impact of COVID-19 pandemic on out-of-pocket costs, lost wages, and unemployment in patients with breast cancer undergoing breast surgery. Post-mastectomy reconstructive patients are at high risk for financial toxicity (adverse effects of escalating health care cost on well-being).
