Social Genomic Mechanisms of Health Disparities among Adolescent and Young Adult (AYA) Survivors of Hodgkin and Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma.
Primary Objectives:
1. To establish the association of social-environmental risk factors on both disease-free survival (DFS) and overall survival (OS) for adolescent and young adult cancer survivors.
Secondary Objectives:
1. To establish the associations of individual resilience factors on DFS and OS for adolescent and young adult cancer survivors.
2. To establish the associations of social-environmental risk factors and individual resilience factors on quality of life (QOL) for adolescent and young adult cancer survivors.
3. To quantify the extent to which alterations in human gene expression could potentially mediate the effects of social-environmental risk factors and individual resilience factors on DFS, and OS for adolescent and young adult cancer survivors.
Exploratory Objective:
1. To determine whether the relationship between social-environmental risk factors or individual resilience factors and distal outcomes may be moderated by race/ethnicity, sex and gender identity, and geography for adolescent and young adult cancer survivors.
