Cancer Control and Outcomes Program
The Cancer Control and Outcomes Program brings together researchers working to reduce the burden of cancer on individuals and communities. They examine how cancer and its treatment affect people and how cancer care is delivered. Their research spans five areas:
- Psychosocial Outcomes and Survivorship: Examining how cancer affects emotional and social well-being during and after treatment, and ways to improve long-term health and quality of life
- Symptom Science and Treatment Toxicity: Finding ways to manage symptoms caused by cancer and side effects caused by treatment
- Patient-Reported Outcomes: Studying patients’ own reports of their symptoms, health, and well-being to better understand their experiences with cancer and treatment
- Health Promotion: Exploring ways to help people with cancer take an active role in improving their health
- Cancer Care Delivery Research: Improving how cancer care is organized and delivered
