About
This clinical trial studies engagement strategies for recruiting American Indians (AI) of Southwestern Tribal Nations for cancer genome sequencing. American Indians in the Southwest have higher rates of some types of cancer, such as cancers that arise in the liver, kidney, breast, and colon. American Indians with cancer may also live for less time than people from other population groups who have been treated for the same cancer. Damage to the cells of the body, acquired as people live, grow older, and are exposed to the environment, causes genetic changes in cells that can lead to cancer. This study may help researchers learn how these genetic changes in cells cause cancer and understand how and why cancer is arising in American Indians in the Southwest. This may help better prevent and treat cancer in the future.

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:
The overall objective of the PE-CGS Research Center is to develop culturally appropriate, respectful, trusted, and collaborative means to engage and recruit American Indians affected by cancer (newly diagnosed cancer patients, patients undergoing cancer treatment, and cancer survivors) for molecular characterization of their tumors.
The clinical trial is embedded in the Patient Engagement Unit (PEU) jointly with the Engagement Optimization Unit (EOU)
The specific objectives for the PEU are to:
