This phase II MATCH screening and multi-sub-trial studies how well treatment that is directed by genetic testing works in patients with solid tumors, lymphomas, or multiple myelomas that may have spread from where it first started to nearby tissue, lymph nodes, or distant parts of the body (advanced) and does not respond to treatment (refractory). Patients must have progressed following at least one line of standard treatment or for which no agreed upon treatment approach exists. Genetic tests look at the unique genetic material (genes) of patients' tumor cells. Patients with genetic abnormalities (such as mutations, amplifications, or translocations) may benefit more from treatment which targets their tumor's particular genetic abnormality. Identifying these genetic abnormalities first may help doctors plan better treatment for patients with solid tumors, lymphomas, or multiple myeloma.

Hypothesis 1a: The investigators anticipate that navigator decision coaching, compared to enhanced usual care (EUC) will result in higher quality SDM for lung cancer screening (LCS )(primary outcome), greater knowledge of lung cancer screening benefits and harms, and lower decisional conflict.
Hypothesis 1b: Compared to enhanced usual care (EUC), we expect that TELESCOPE will result in more screening discussions, increased initial for lung cancer screening (LCS) with low-dose CT scan (LDCT) uptake among interested participants, increased adherence to repeat LCS and diagnostic testing, and increased smoking cessation referrals for current smokers.
Hypothesis 2: The investigators expect that a "booster" coaching session will increase adherence to repeat lung cancer screening (LCS).

This clinical trial investigates how practical and doable (feasibility) cell-free deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) liquid biopsy is in screening high-risk patients for lung cancer. Currently, a low dose computed tomography (CT) scan is used to screen for lung cancer, however, due to various factors, few high-risk patients are screened. Liquid biopsy utilizes technology that can detect small amounts of DNA shed by cancer cells and may be able to spot lung cancer at an earlier stage. If a positive result comes back from the liquid biopsy, a patient may be more willing to get a low dose CT (LDCT) scan, possibly confirming the biopsy's findings and thus leading to more early lung cancer detection.

The purpose of this study is to use agnostic genomic evaluation using whole exome sequencing (WES) of a variety of rare hematologic diseases grouped under rare blood diseases and its variants to further elucidate the understanding of the chemistry of these disorders and identify potential actionable mutations that can be targeted with therapies in the context of clinical trials.
The Vanguard Study is a feasibility study to explore several aspects of evaluating multi-cancer detection (MCD) tests in a future definitive randomized controlled trial. An MCD test measures markers in the blood in order to screen for multiple cancers simultaneously. There is a need to understand how MCDs may work as cancer screening tools. The goal of cancer screening is to reduce the burden of cancer by identifying cancers before they show symptoms or signs, when treatment is likely to be most effective. In this study, adults aged 45-75 without cancer will be randomly assigned to one of 3 groups: 2 separate MCD test groups or a control group. These two MCD tests will not be compared to each other but will be compared to cancers detected in the control group. This study will provide early information on how well MCD tests perform as cancer screening tools. It will also help researchers understand how patients and their doctors make decisions about their care when the MCD test result comes back as normal (negative) or abnormal (positive).

Lung cancer screening with low-dose chest computed tomography (CT) is currently recommended for high-risk individuals who are 50 to 80 years old, have smoked cigarettes for at least 20 pack-years, and currently smoke or quit smoking within the past 15 years. In a prospective cohort at Nashville, Denver, Louisville, Chicago, Kansas City, Salisbury and Seattle Veteran Affairs medical centers, the investigators will evaluate the detection of lung cancer using an expanded screening eligibility criteria based on Veterans' personal and service-related exposures compared to standard of care criteria. Screening a larger population will increase the number of lung nodules needing clinical management and these nodules may or may not be cancer. In a population of Veterans with positive screenings at Nashville, the investigators will also validate a combination biomarker-based approach to manage screen-detected lung nodules to reduce time to lung cancer diagnosis and use of invasive procedures. This study will also convene a Veteran Community Advisory Board and interview Veterans to better understand their thoughts about lung cancer screening and preferences for outreach and engagement.
This clinical trial studies whether tailored patient navigation (PN) works to improve the uptake of lung cancer screening (LCS) in tribal communities in western Washington state. Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death in the United States among American Indian (AI) and Alaska Native (AN) people, and the incidence of lung cancer is higher in this population in the Northern and Southern Plains, Alaska, and Pacific Coast regions. In Washington state, AI/AN people also have twice the rate of commercial cigarette smoking than the overall population. LCS with annual low-dose chest computed tomography (CT) can reduce lung cancer death and is recommended in people 50-80 years of age with current or recent (within 15 years) tobacco use and a 20 pack-year or greater smoking history. Despite this, AI and AN people are less likely to receive LCS which may be due to barriers they face making it difficult to receive LCS. PN services are designed to guide a patient through the healthcare system and reduce barriers to timely screening, follow-up, diagnosis, treatment, and supportive care. The PN services in this trial have been tailored for the tribal communities in western Washington state. The services are designed to help participants overcome the unique barriers that their tribal communities face and improve the uptake of LCS.

This clinical trial develops and studies whether a restorative justice-based lung cancer screening (LCS) decision-making support intervention tailored for Black individuals increases LCS among Black community members. Lung cancer remains the leading cause of cancer deaths among Black men and women. LCS with yearly low-dose chest computed tomography (CT) is recommended for people with current or recent tobacco use (within 15 years) who are aged 50-80 with at least a 20 pack-year smoking history. LCS lowers lung cancer death by 20%; however, data shows that LCS completion remains low among minority groups in the United States. The restorative justice-based LCS decision-making support intervention in this trial has been specifically tailored to meet the needs of Black individuals. It is designed to reduce racial unfairness by promoting trust, shared understanding, and empowerment in clinical decision making while addressing the social and historical circumstances of health inequalities. This may be an effective way to increase LCS among Black community members.
This is a pilot Type 1 Hybrid Effectiveness-Implementation Trial. The study will first examine reach in a non-traditional setting (the Emergency Department - ED) that uses an Electronic Health Record (EHR)-embedded Social Determinants of Health (SDoH) screening tool to identify lung screening-eligible patients for a tailored intervention to increase lung screening uptake. Reach is defined as the absolute number, proportion, and representativeness of individuals targeted for lung screening knowledge, awareness, and uptake. Then, a pilot trial will be conducted to examine the preliminary effectiveness of a tailored lung screening intervention compared to enhanced usual care to influence individual-level potential drivers of lung screening (health literacy, mistrust, stigma, fatalism, knowledge, lung screening health beliefs) and the ability to increase lung screening uptake among screening-eligible patients. Quantitative (Randomized Controlled Trial and EHR data) methods will be used for data collection and analysis to address the study aims.

Inspired by the ongoing Pink \& Pearl Campaign, the breast radiology service of Christian Hospital in north St. Louis County will partner with Siteman Cancer Center to pilot this campaign in its mammography clinics in order to promote awareness, referral, and completion of lung cancer screening (LCS) among eligible women. This campaign leverages established infrastructure such as nurse navigation and referral to screening or primary care for further shared decision-making on cancer screening. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of the Pink \& Pearl Campaign in improving LCS uptake among LCS-eligible women undergoing mammography at Christian Hospital. This evaluation is grounded in the Integrated Screening Action Model that depicts individual- and environmental-level influences on the screening behavior process. Using an explanatory sequential mixed methods design, which combines both quantitative and qualitative approaches, our specific aims for this proposal are to: a) assess whether the Pink \& Pearl Campaign increases referrals and uptake/completion of LCS among LCS-eligible women undergoing screening mammography; b) determine median time-to-screening after referral to LCS; and c) evaluate individual and health system factors influencing LCS uptake and implementation outcomes of the campaign. These implementation outcomes will help identify whether the campaign was put in place successfully or not. This proposal will inform strategies for integrating cancer screening programs to improve poorly performing programs like LCS.
Co-design will be implemented to develop an innovative, Veteran-centered intervention (Vet Peer Connects program) that meets the needs of Black Veterans.
Next, a feasibility pilot test of the Vet Peer Connects program will be conducted. The Peer will lead up to 5 group lung cancer screening orientations in community partner sites to reach up to 40 lung cancer screening eligible Black Veterans. The Peer will provide one-to-one tailored support to up to 15 Veterans (coaching, goal-setting, navigation to access Veterans Affairs lung cancer screening). Then, the study team will evaluate program delivery through ethnographic observation and field notes, Peer activity logs, and weekly check-ins between the study team and Peer. Investigators will interview Veteran participants, community partners, and lung cancer screening clinical staff to explore feasibility and acceptability of the Vet Peer Connects program and solicit suggestions for improvement. Preliminary data on the outcomes of the Vet Peer Connects program will be collected by study team through administering surveys to assess change in Social Cognitive Theory constructs, and extracting lung cancer screening uptake and tobacco treatment 3 months post enrollment from VA's Corporate Data Warehouse. This work will inform a subsequent multi-site stepped-wedge trial to assess effectiveness, implementation, and cost of the Vet Peer Connects program in VA lung cancer screening sites and neighboring branches of the National Association for Black Veterans.

The goal of this pilot clinical trial is to learn whether the patient and provider support program, called FIX-SDM, helps patients and providers engage in shared decision-making for lung cancer screening during primary care visits and increases the number of patients who complete lung cancer screening. The investigators will also assess the acceptability of the support program and the feasibility of the study protocol to prepare for a future large-scale trial. The main questions this trial aims to answer are:
* Does the patient and provider support increase the number of patients who complete lung cancer screening?
* Does the patient and provider support help patients and health care providers engage more in shared decision-making and improve the quality of the patient's decision regarding lung cancer screening?
* Is the study protocol feasible? The investigators will compare the patient and provider support program to usual care to see if the support increases the number of patients who complete lung cancer screening.
Primary care provider participants will:
* Receive the provider support session and educational materials, or follow usual practice
* Answer a baseline survey and a follow-up survey in 6 months
* Answer additional survey questions regarding the acceptability of the provider support session if they receive it
Patient participants will
* Receive a smoking history survey, a decision aid, and text messages about lung cancer screening prior to the primary care visit, or receive usual care
* Complete the baseline survey and two follow-up surveys, one right after the primary care visit and another 3 months after the visit.
