Robert A. Hiatt,Rena J. Pasick,Susan L. Stewart,Joan R. Bloom,Patricia Davis,Phillip Gardiner,Monica Johnston,Judith Luce,Kimberley Schorr,Wendel Brunner,Florence M. Stroud +10 more
TL;DR: These baseline results support the importance of cancer screening interventions targeted to persons of foreign origin, particularly those less acculturated.
Journal ArticleDOI
The natural history and molecular heterogeneity of HIV-associated primary malignant lymphomatous effusions.
TL;DR: A pathogenetic role for HHV-8 alone in this disease process is strengthened by the observation of four cases lacking EBV but containing HHV8, and levels in the malignant effusion fluids were markedly elevated.
Journal ArticleDOI

Christine Miaskowski,Steven M. Paul,Bruce A. Cooper,Claudia West,Jon D. Levine,Charles Elboim,Deborah Hamolsky,Gary W. Abrams,Judith Luce,Anand Dhruva,Dale J. Langford,John D. Merriman,Kord M. Kober,Christina Baggott,Heather Leutwyler,Bradley E. Aouizerat +15 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that approximately 35% of women experience persistent levels of moderate arm/shoulder pain in the first six months following breast cancer surgery, which is associated with clinically meaningful decrements in functional status and quality of life.
Journal ArticleDOI
Information Mismatch: Cancer Risk Counseling with Diverse Underserved Patients.
TL;DR: A fundamental mismatch between the information provided by GCs and the information desired and meaningful to patients is revealed, indicating a need to transform the standard model of genetic counseling communication using evidence-based principles and strategies from other fields of Medicine.
Journal ArticleDOI
Addressing the needs of young breast cancer survivors at the 5 year milestone: can a short-term, low intensity intervention produce change?
TL;DR: A socio-educational intervention for 5-year survivors aged 50 or younger at diagnosis was related to greater knowledge related to breast cancer, and increased report of physical activity, and a short-term intervention can affect knowledge levels and physical activity but not diet or communication in the family.
