ACS Journals: Addressing late effects and quality of life essential to improving survivorship care (Aune Lab)
Abstract
This news section offers Cancer readers timely information on events, public policy analysis, topical issues, and personalities. In this issue, we highlight efforts being made to improve cancer survivorship care and mitigate the late effects of cancer treatment. We also report on the increased risk for endocrine diseases among adolescent and young adult cancer survivors and on research demonstrating that high‐risk human papillomavirus testing may be a good option for cervical cancer screening.
Since 2004, UT Health San Antonio, Greehey Children’s Cancer Research Institute’s (Greehey CCRI) mission has been to advance scientific knowledge relevant to childhood cancer, contribute to understanding its causes, and accelerate the translation of knowledge into novel therapies. Greehey CCRI strives to have a national and global impact on childhood cancer by discovering, developing, and disseminating new scientific knowledge. Our mission consists of three key areas — research, clinical, and education.
