Research Abstract

My research focuses on the identification and management of psychological and cancer-related symptoms and their influence on medical outcomes. Ongoing projects include a clinical trial for the treatment of depression in advanced cancer and a large longitudinal database of standardized assessments of physical and psychological symptoms in thoracic oncology patients. I am particularly interested in the association between depression and survival in patents with advanced non-small cell lung cancer and its underlying mechanisms, including physiological, behavioral, and differences in medical care.
