Program Themes
The overarching themes of this Program are:
- Behavioral interventions to reduce cancer risk
- Cancer screening, surveillance and treatment strategies
- Genetic and environmental cancer risk factors
Program Information
The Program has established and continues to expand community and practice "laboratories" and disease-focused and population-based cohorts to conduct transdisciplinary and translational research. Research in this program is catalyzed through formation of intra- and inter-programmatic collaborative groups interested in cross-cutting or organ-specific cancer issues. This work is further promoted through program-wide seminars, working groups and strategic use of Cancer Center Resources.
To pursue the themes outlined above, members of the Prevention Program participate in at least one of the following four scientific Focus Areas:
- Health services research and risk prediction modeling to inform cancer prevention and control
- Cancer epidemiology and gene-environment interaction including international cancer health initiatives
- Understanding and affecting factors associated with cancer prevention and control, survivorship and quality of life
- Improving the informed consent and decision-making process for cancer control
