Children and Young Adults with Cancer, Supportive Care, Sarcoma, Mental Health, Survivorship
Research Summary
My research program focuses on enhancing symptom management, especially mental health and supportive care of children, adolescents and young adults (AYAs) with cancer to improve their overall outcomes, cancer experience, and quality of life during and after their cancer treatment by engaging and partnering with patients, using quantitative and qualitative approaches and routinely collected population-based administrative data. Addressing disparities in cancer care of children and AYAs with cancer is an essential aim of my research.
Another important aspect of my research is to improve outcomes of children and AYAs with sarcomas. I am a young investigator with the soft tissue sarcoma committee of the Children Oncology Group (COG), working on several projects to improve the treatment and outcome of children and adolescents with soft-tissue sarcoma.
Goals
The goals my research are to optimize the supportive care and quality of life of children and young adults with cancer and improve the outcomes of children and young adults with sarcoma
