Enhancing Survival
Through interventions and assessments, we are defining strategies for
enhancing quality of life after cancer treatment. Particular foci
include long-term and late effects of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation.
Neurotoxicity
Cognitive changes can result from chemotherapy, analgesics or other etiologies during cancer treatment. We are studying outcomes, risks and treatments.
Pain Management
We have a major commitment to improving cancer pain treatment through
pharmacologic and non-pharmacologic research.
Collaboration
We collaborate with a number of other Cancer Research Groups.
