Title of Project: 34JD – COVID-19 and response to immunotherapy
Project Description:

It is currently unknown whether cancer patients who are COVID-19 convalescents will respond to combination therapy with immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) or have resistance to combination therapies with ICB. This project will perform chart review of patients with lung cancer and melanoma who are COVID-19 convalescents and their response to chemotherapy and disease outcomes.

Title of Project: Epidemiology Trends and Risks of HPV-associated Cancers and Comorbidi􀆟es Among Pa􀆟ents Receiving Solid Organ Transplants.
Project Description:

Transplant recipients are reported to have 2-4 times the risk of cancer compared to the general population; cancer-related mortalities are also significantly higher in the transplant recipients than the age or race-adjusted general population. Increased cancer risk in transplant recipients could partly be attributed to impaired immune control of oncogenic viruses, including the human papillomavirus (HPV) or other etiologic pathways. Even though there is an overall decline in the incidence of cervical cancer with effective screening and vaccinations in the United States, incidence of other HPV-associated cancer, specifically oropharyngeal and anal cancers are on the rise in the general population. However, the epidemiologic trends in HPV-related cancers among solid organ transplant recipients are not known. We will examine and assess demographic and clinical variables and other comorbidities associated with HPV-related cancers (cervical, vaginal, vulval, anal, penile, oral cavity, oropharynx) among patients who have received living donor solid organ transplants (heart, lungs, kidney, pancreas, liver and intestine) and registered in the Scientific Registry of Transplant Recipients (SRTR).

Title of Project: 30SS – Comorbidities in Anal Cancer: An Analysis of Electronic Medical Record from UAB Hospital
Project Description:

Anal cancer is rare in the general United States (US) population, with an estimate of 8,300 new diagnoses, 5,530 in women and 2,770 in men, reported in 2019. Lifetime risk of developing anal cancer is about 1 in 500, with a higher risk in women than men. However, the incidence of anal cancer has been increasing over recent years in some high-risk populations. Studies show that HPV infection is attributable to 90% of anal cancers, and oncogenic HPV types 16/18 are responsible for 92% of these HPV-associated anal cancer. There are 34 clinics and medical facilities in the Birmingham area that are networked to UAB hospital system and patient data are electronically centralized. We will review data from the UAB hospital comprehensive electronic medical record (EMR) data between 2012-2020 to identify all individuals with anal cancer and assess co-morbidities (specifically cardiovascular and neurological) associated with disease pathogenesis and treatment.

Project Description:

The purpose of the EMOT-ECON Research Network is to bring together multidisciplinary scientists across institutions to take a transdisciplinary approach to answering the most urgent emotional well-being and economic burden questions. This is a newly funded grant that is in the process of developing an interactive website, building a social media presence, and implementing an innovative pilot project program. The CaRES intern will conduct a literature review to identify and collect measures that assess financial burden, toxicity etc., research organizations and individuals on social media that post on cancer and economic burden to identify followers we may want or people we may want to add to our network, help build the calendar of social media content/posts, and assist with planning a virtual kickoff event (e.g., how do we structure, make it interesting, what are the professional organizations/listervs do we need to advertise to). The intern will also analyze the data from google analytics (a website analytics dashboard), such as traffic to the website, individual page traffic, source of the traffic, and determining what content works best with what social media platform.

Title of Project: 27AM – Morphometric Brain Changes Associated with Treatment of Gliomas and Meningiomas
Project Description:

The specific aim of this project is to characterize the temporal changes of brain morphometry among survivors of glioma or meningioma, and associate these changes with therapeutic exposures. We hypothesize that patients who received radiation therapy will experience more rapid morphometric changes, defined as increasing brain age estimate, than patients who did not. Furthermore, the increase in brain age estimate will be positive associated with total radiation exposure.

This retrospective cohort study will include patients receiving care at UAB with a diagnosis of low grade glioma or meningioma who were without evidence of recurrence for at least 2 years from initial treatment and have pre- and post-treatment MRI data available for review. Demographic, disease, and treatment characteristics will be extracted from the electronic medical record. Brain morphometry will be characterized by the brain age gap estimation (BrainAGE) method as well as grey matter thickness. Radiation exposure to the uninvolved brain will be characterized using Eclipse software. We will assess for relationship between radiation exposure and brain morphometry using multiple linear regression.

The CaRES student will participate in all aspects of this project, including contributing to study design, data collection, analysis, and drafting the study results. The study will take place within the UAB Department of Radiation Oncology.

Title of Project: 26JH – Yeast phenomic analysis of cytotoxic chemotherapy.
Project Description:

Despite advances in the development of so-called targeted therapies, traditional cytotoxic chemotherapy remains remain to be among the most efficacious therapies available for many types of cancer. Yet, the rationale linking what is known about the mechanisms of action for cytotoxic agents to their differential efficacy for certain cancer types remains poorly understood. While so-called personalized medicine strategies are being implemented to select targeted therapies based on relevant mutations in targets identified by genetic sequencing of individual patient’s tumors, this strategy is quite limited from a genetic perspective, considering the broad landscape of cancer-related mutations and potential resulting tumor-specific vulnerabilities. Yeast, as a model organism, led the way to our understanding of the role of cell cycle, which contributed greatly to the rationale for the development and understanding of cytotoxic chemotherapy and its tumor specific killing qualities. New technology for genetic analysis in yeast has created expanded possibilities for using the yeast to understand complex cellular mechanisms of cytotoxic chemotherapy. Quantitative high throughput cell array phenotyping developed in our laboratory is applied to a genomic collection of 6000 yeast gene knockout and knockdown strains, so that the contribution of every yeast gene to mediating or buffering the cytotoxic effects of chemotherapy can be directly measured in single experiments. We have developed an experimental and computational platform to systematically assess chemotherapy in this way and will be profiling additional compounds this summer. The results are analyzed in terms of gene interaction networks and by comparing distinct chemotherapeutic compounds in differential network activity.

Title of Project: 25KH – Oncologists’ recommendation to promote healthy eating behaviors among cancer survivors
Project Description:

In this project, we will examine the impact of oncologists’ recommendation for healthy eating among cancer survivors by building on the existing infrastructure of the AMPLIFY Program (NCI-funded clinical trial). Specifically, we plan to incorporate an ancillary study arm onto the web-based AMPLIFY Diet/Project 1, which will recruit cancer survivors to an intervention to improve diet quality and weight status. An “Oncologists’ Supportive Message” will be developed for AMPLIFY participants to receive recommendation for their healthy eating behavior from oncologists. We will conduct a pilot study to assess feasibility and acceptability, as well as preliminary effectiveness of “Oncologists’ Supportive Message” among overweight or obese cancer survivors following poor quality diets and participating in AMPLIFY.
CaRES intern is needed to provide assistance during “Oncologists Supportive Message” intervention delivery and evaluation.
