Technology-Enabled Activation of Skin Cancer Screening for Stem Cell Transplant Survivors and Their Primary Care Providers, TEACH Study
City of Hope Medical Center
Abstract
This trial studies the impact of a 12-month invention focused on early detection of skin cancer and timely follow up in patients who underwent stem cell transplant and their primary care providers. Some stem cell transplant survivors may develop complications related to the treatment they received. Many of these complications may not be known for years after the treatment and preventive measures can be taken to reduce the chances that a complication will occur and encourage early detection. This study focuses on one complication that stem cell transplant survivors are at high risk of developing - skin cancer. An early diagnosis of skin cancer is important since the cancer is usually smaller, requires less extensive treatments, and has better outcomes. Teaching skin self-examination and encouraging patients to alert doctors to skin changes may provide an important opportunity for early detection of skin cancer.
