The overall aim of the studies performed within these laboratories is to increase our understanding of the pathophysiology of cancer therapy-induced neurobehavioral toxicities, including neuropathic pain, depressed mood, cognitive dysfunction and fatigue. We then apply this newly-acquired knowledge to the rational design of novel interventions for alleviating symptom burden in patients with cancer.
