Pediatric Cancer Epidemiology Research Lab

The Pediatric Cancer Epidemiology Research Lab focuses on cancer care issues (e.g., symptom clusters and financial toxicity) and the roles the physical and social environment play in the development and outcomes of pediatric cancer. We seek to advance scientific knowledge through an inter-disciplinary and team science approach.

Symptom Clusters

Led by Krishtee Napit, this project is studying the impact of symptom clusters on health-related quality of life in pediatric cancer survivors.

Financial Toxicity

Investigating the health effects and predictors of financial hardship in pediatric cancer patients.

Systematic Review of Agricultural Exposures and Risk of Neuroblastoma

A systematic review and meta-analysis examining the association between agricultural exposures (e.g., pesticides) and neuroblastoma.

SEER Capstone Group

Three MPH students are completing their capstone projects using Surveillance, Epidemiology and End Results cancer registry data to investigate rural/urban differences in pediatric cancer incidence, mortality, and five-year survival rates.
