Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
The purpose of this clinical trial is to evaluate radiation therapy (RT) completion rates among underrepresented cancer populations using qualitative measurements. Additionally, the study aims to assess the impact of patient navigators on supporting patients through their radiation care, as well as their influence on adherence to standard of care treatment modalities.

- Consented to Study
- description
- Participants in this study may provide consent in one of three ways. Consent to participate automatically includes authorization for chart review. The most comprehensive level of consent includes participation in both pre- and post-treatment surveys and receipt of navigation services as part of the study's support interventions. Another level includes consent for chart review and survey completion but a declination of navigation services. Lastly, some participants consent only to chart review and decline participation in the surveys, which automatically excludes them from receiving navigation services.

- description
- Survey-based methods will be used to assess barriers facing under-represented minority cancer patient access to patient navigation. This study will use a patient-completed, culturally sensitive survey adapted from "Walking Forward," a patient navigator program providing culturally appropriate community education on cancer, screening and treatment, to include barriers to specific RT regimens, and concerns regarding transportation.
