Abstract Background Epidemiological studies of cancer survivors have predominantly focused on non‐Hispanic White, elderly patients, despite the observation that African Americans have higher rates of mortality. Therefore, we characterized cancer survivorship in younger African American survivors using the Detroit Research on Cancer Survivors (ROCS) study to assess health behaviors and quality of life. Methods Five hundred and seventeen patients diagnosed with any cancer between the ages of 20–49 (mean age: 42 years; SD: 6.7 years) completed a survey to identify important clinical, behavioral, and sociodemographic characteristics, measures of health literacy, and experiences of discrimination. Quality of life outcomes were evaluated in patients using FACT‐G, FACT‐Cog, and PROMIS® Anxiety and Depression scales. Stepwise linear and logistic regression were used to assess the association between quality of life measures and participant characteristics. Results The mean FACT‐G score was 74.1 (SD: 21.3), while the FACT‐Cog was 55.1 (SD: 17.1) (FACT‐G range 0–108 with higher scores indicating better function; elderly cancer patient mean: 82.2; FACT‐Cog 18‐item range 0–72 points with higher scores indicating better perceived cognitive functioning; scores |
