项目摘要

While American Indian (AI) Tribes and communities are highly diverse in ethnicity, language, and culture, there is one unfortunate characteristic that they share: profound cancer health disparities. Compounded by disproportionately low rates of cancer screening and more limited access to healthcare, AI are more often diagnosed at later stages of disease and have the poorest outcomes in all types of cancer when compared to any other racial and ethnic group in the United States. The cause of these significant cancer health disparities is undoubtedly multifactorial. However, an unexplored factor is the molecular characterization of tumors arising in AI. American Indians and Alaska Natives (AN) have been strikingly understudied in The Cancer Genome Atlas Project (TCGA) and account for only < 0.5% of the cancer patients studied. Of the nearly 11,000 patients sequenced in TCGA to date, only 27 (0.25%) were identified as AI/AN. It is our hypothesis that through appropriate participant and community engagement and comprehensive genomic sequencing, we will discover novel somatic and germline mutations, differences in the spectrum and/or frequency of cancer-promoting mutations, and genome-wide mutational signatures reflective of behaviors and exposures, that can ultimately be translated to improved cancer screening, precision prevention, and therapeutic intervention in American Indian participants and communities. In this application, we will focus on the molecular characterization of cancers which show significant disparities in AI of the Southwest, including gastrointestinal and hepatobiliary cancers (stomach, colorectal, pancreatic, liver, gallbladder and biliary tree); genitourinary cancers (kidney, prostate cancer); and other hormone-dependent cancers (breast, ovarian cancers). Our Specific Aims are to develop culturally-appropriate, respectful, and trusted means to: 1) Engage American Indian participants (cancer patients and survivors) and their Tribal communities in participatory research studies of the molecular characterization of cancer, particularly focusing on cancers that display striking disparities in incidence and outcome in Southwest Tribal Nations; 2) Discover novel somatic and germline mutations and/or differences in the spectrum and frequency of cancer-promoting mutations, and genome-wide mutational signatures reflective of specific behaviors and exposures, in American Indian participants, relative to other racial and ethnic populations in the U.S. and the world; 3) Disseminate knowledge gained through these studies to Tribal participants and Tribal Councils, leaders, stakeholders, and communities using unique means of participant engagement and novel means of communication, such as visual arts and media, that are sensitive to cultural and religious beliefs and practices and that acknowledge the indigenous languages and dialects, many of which lack many scientific and medical terms for words and concepts such as cancer, gene, genomics, mutation, and DNA, and 4) (Share knowledge with the broader scientific community through the NCI Genome Data Commons and publication of scientific results in accordance with NIH Data Sharing Policies and Tribal Agreements.

虽然美国印第安人（AI）部落和社区在种族，语言和文化方面高度多样化，但是他们共同的一个不幸的特征：癌症健康的巨大差异。加剧由于癌症筛查率不成比例地低，获得医疗保健的机会更有限，在疾病的晚期被诊断出来，与其他癌症相比，美国的任何其他种族和民族。这些显著的癌症健康差异的原因是无疑是多因素的然而，一个未探索的因素是肿瘤的分子特征，艾.美国印第安人和阿拉斯加原住民（AN）在癌症基因组图谱中的研究明显不足项目（TCGA），仅占研究的癌症患者的< 0.5%。在近11,000名患者中， TCGA测序结果表明，仅27株（0.25%）为AI/AN。我们的假设是适当的参与者和社区参与以及全面的基因组测序，我们将发现新的体细胞和生殖系突变、促癌基因的谱和/或频率的差异，突变，以及反映行为和暴露的全基因组突变特征，最终可以转化为改善癌症筛查，精确预防和治疗干预，在美国印第安人参与者和社区。在本申请中，我们将重点关注癌症的分子特征这表明西南地区的AI存在显着差异，包括胃肠道和肝胆癌（胃癌、结直肠癌、胰腺癌、肝癌、胆囊癌和胆道癌）;泌尿生殖系统癌症（肾癌、前列腺癌、前列腺癌）癌症）;和其它依赖于乳腺癌的癌症（乳腺癌、卵巢癌）。我们的目标是发展文化上适当的，尊重的，和值得信赖的手段：1）吸引美国印第安人参与者（癌症患者和幸存者）和他们的部落社区参与研究的分子特征，癌症，特别关注西南地区在发病率和结局方面表现出显著差异的癌症， 2）发现新的体细胞和生殖系突变和/或谱中的差异，促癌突变的频率，以及反映特异性癌基因的全基因组突变特征，行为和暴露，在美国印第安人的参与者，相对于其他种族和民族的人口，美国3）将通过这些研究获得的知识传播给部落参与者和部落理事会、领导者、利益相关者和社区使用独特的参与方式和新颖的对文化和宗教信仰敏感的交流手段，如视觉艺术和媒体，这些国家承认土著语言和方言，其中许多缺乏许多科学和医学术语的单词和概念，如癌症，基因，基因组学，突变，和DNA，和4）（分享通过NCI基因组数据共享区和出版物，科学成果符合NIH数据共享政策和部落协议。
