 Outcomes Research
The Division of Outcomes Research seeks to better understand the long-term physical and psychosocial consequences of cancer both in cancer survivors, as well as in the families; to identify populations at high risk for developing these long-term health-related problems; and to develop interventions to reduce the long-term morbidity in high risk individuals. An integral part of the Outcomes Research is the Center for Cancer Survivorship.

The City of Hope Survey Research Core provides important tools to help investigators conduct survey-based research.
Division Objectives

  • Foster an outstanding team of investigators to describe long-term outcomes of cancer and its treatment, and to identify host- and treatment-related risk factors
  • Build new and expand upon already existing interdisciplinary collaborations throughout and beyond City of Hope to enhance the understanding and evaluation of approaches for detecting and preventing long-term effects of cancer treatment
  • Understand the pathogenesis of treatment-related complications such as second cancers
  • Describe the impact of cancer and its treatment on health-related quality of life in cancer patients through the trajectory of disease
  • Develop and expand educational programs at multiple levels, focusing on cancer survivorship for healthcare professionals involved in the care of cancer survivors in both primary care and specialty settings
  • Develop targeted interventions to prevent treatment-related long-term complications and improve the overall quality of life
  • Expand the scope of the Center for Cancer Survivorship as an infrastructure and resource to meet these goals

 
Mission
The mission of the Division of Outcomes Research is to advance the understanding of the long-term effects of cancer and its treatment through exceptional, integrated research programs in patient care, prevention, and education and to develop an infrastructure for life-long follow-up of cancer survivors.
