With the HEAL Study data, the NCI will investigate the relationship between quality of life and other lifestyle issues with disease outcomes in long-term survivors. The DCCPS proposes to contract the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center (FHCRC) to perform analyses using HEAL Study data for preparation of three manuscripts on Lymphedema & Cancer Prognosis and Alcohol Use & Survival, as well as administrative and laboratory tasks, such as filing for IRB, maintaining storage and documentation for samples, and pulling samples for experiments to ensure the continuation and availability of the California data and samples to the HEAL researchers.
