Marcia Grant, RN, DNSc, a research scientist and the director of City of Hope's Dept. of Nursing Research and Education is the principle investigator of the four year, $1.4 million grant from the National Cancer Institute. This project will enable 400 professional caregivers to be trained in specific ways that will increase the follow-up care of cancer survivors.
"Advances in treatment and screening contribute to more people surviving cancer every year. Survivorship issues are key to improving the quality of health care,� Grant says. �This NCI grant will help City of Hope train caregivers to properly monitor cancer survivors for any delayed effects of treatment and to ensure the best quality of life for them.�"
