The theme of the 2012 Conference is “Cancer Survivorship Research: Translating Science to Care.” This year’s theme reflects a growing consensus about the importance of translating scientific discoveries into clinical and behavioral interventions and replicating this work across diverse populations in a way that will optimize physical and psychosocial functioning and prolong the lives of cancer survivors.
The conference will showcase cutting-edge research across the translational science continuum. The continuum spans basic science studies, epidemiologic research, and concept development; feasibility and efficacy testing of interventions, and measurement development; and the dissemination and implementation of survivorship interventions to practice settings and policy.
The Conference will highlight research in the following areas
- Adherence
- Cardiac Injury
- Care coordination and communication
- Cognition
- Economic Issues
- Fatigue
- Health Equity
- Innovative Surveillance Platforms
- Mechanisms of aging and premature aging
- Obesity
- Relationships and Intimacy
