Research Program, update pending

The Center for Psycho-oncology and Palliative Care Research’s mission is to conduct research to improve the quality of lives and care received by advanced cancer patients.  We also consider family members as integral participants in the provision and outcomes of cancer care.  As a general theme, we apply the methods of clinical epidemiology and perspectives of social psychology to advance understanding of the dynamics between patients, their family members, oncologists and others involved in patient care.
