The AYA Cancer Research Working Group hosts a talk by Dr. Penelope Howards, September 15, 10-11 AM EST
Who Participates in Population-Based, Young Adult Cancer Survivor Studies?
Results from the FUCHSIA Women’s Study
Population-based cancer registries are valuable resources for recruiting young adult cancer survivors into studies that collect information not available in medical records. But, who agrees to participate in these studies, and do they differ from those who are eligible to participate? Are potential participants lost because of incorrect contact information, refusal, or other reasons? Please join us for the discussion.
