Biobehavioral Oncology
Behavioral oncology is integrated with other oncological sciences, making basic and applied behavioral science research available in the clinical context. The integration provides synergistic research and clinical programs that focus on biopsychosocial aspects of cancer control, from prevention and early detection through symptom management and palliative care. The work involves basic science and translational research and clinical applications about how psychological, psychiatric, and social conditions impact the biology and behavior of cancer and the people who have cancer. The program is clinically co-located in each multidisciplinary clinic in order to promote translational research, and provide direct and liaison service to cancer patients and other providers of cancer care.
