The Sung research team focuses on optimizing supportive care for children with cancer.
Understanding that cancer in children and young people is different than cancer in adults, the Sung Lab, led by Dr. Lillian Sung MD, PhD, focuses their research on addressing the most important supportive care issues that affect children receiving treatment for their cancer. These include the development of clinical practice guidelines, the development and validation of instruments relevant to symptoms and the implementation of interventions to reduce treatment-related symptoms.
