    Collapse Overview
    My team and I conduct patient oriented research on improving reproductive health outcomes in children, adolescents and young adults with cancer. These studies range from qualitative studies to observational cohorts to randomized controlled trials. Our group has characterized the unmet fertility, contraception and pregnancy health informational needs of this population, estimated the trajectory of ovarian function after cancer treatment, developed a multi-dimensional scale to measure the breadth of reproductive concerns after cancer (Reproductive Concerns After Cancer scale), and intervened on reproductive health information needs of breast cancer survivors. We have been successful in studies of geographically dispersed AYA survivors by adapting recruitment, data collection, biosample collection, and ovarian reserve measurement methods to be done remotely from survivors’ home environment. Our work has been supported by the NIH, American Cancer Society and California Breast Cancer Research Program (CBCRP).

    Altmetrics Details PMC Citations indicate the number of times the publication was cited by articles in PubMed Central, and the Altmetric score represents citations in news articles and social media. (Note that publications are often cited in additional ways that are not shown here.) Fields are based on how the National Library of Medicine (NLM) classifies the publication's journal and might not represent the specific topic of the publication. Translation tags are based on the publication type and the MeSH terms NLM assigns to the publication. Some publications (especially newer ones and publications not in PubMed) might not yet be assigned Field or Translation tags.) Click a Field or Translation tag to filter the publications.
