Current Research
After several years of developing new approaches to the management of treatment-related symptoms, the Department of Symptom Research has obtained funding for a sustained major research initiative in this area. The overall goal of this research program is to reduce the symptom burden of cancer therapy, increase treatment tolerability and reduce symptomatic late effects for cancer survivors.
The department integrates laboratory research to develop animal models of pain, fatigue and cognitive impairment with descriptive research and interventional trials in patients.
