Cancer Prevention and Control (CPC) researchers are engaged in innovative and collaborative research with the potential to decrease cancer morbidity and mortality. CPC researchers are also involved in prevention and early detection of debilitating symptoms caused by cancer treatment while tailoring cancer treatment to individuals. The program’s themes focus on three crucial challenges across the cancer continuum: preventing the occurrence of cancer; increasing effectiveness and adherence to cancer screening; and identifying mechanisms of treatment-related neurotoxicities (neuropathy and cognitive dysfunction) while reducing symptom burden from cancer therapies.
