Presented By Patricia A. Ganz, M.D.
Category Building Bridges in Cancer Symptom Science Webinar Series
In this kick-off webinar, Dr. Patricia A. Ganz provided a keynote address on the state of symptom science research. The field of cancer symptom science comprised researchers and clinicians from both preclinical and clinical settings who were dedicated to the identification, mechanistic characterization, measurement, mitigation, and prevention of symptoms from cancer and its treatment. As an interdisciplinary field, researchers from traditionally disjointed areas had to foster collaboration and unite their efforts to move science forward in a concerted and synergistic way.
