Uncovering the Health Care Experience of Brazilian Immigrant Cancer Patients in Massachusetts

The Seed Project Uncovering the Health Care Experience of Brazilian Immigrant Cancer Patients in Massachusetts aims to describe the treatment pathways of Brazilian immigrant cancer patients in Massachusetts. It will interview 20 Brazilian cancer patients in Massachusetts. The study is led by faculty from UMass Boston and DF/HCC in collaboration with community leaders and Cambridge Health Alliance (CHA).

The findings of this study have the potential to contribute to new knowledge about the cancer treatment pathways of Brazilian immigrant cancer patients in Massachusetts, including the mental health implications of the treatment. The data may be useful for improving the cancer treatment pathways of Brazilian and other Portuguese speaking communities in Massachusetts.
