About

Our research in oncology encompasses the full spectrum of cancer care including cancer prevention, screening and early detection, diagnosis, treatment, and survivorship, as part of the Metro-Minnesota Community Oncology Research Consortium (MMCORC). Areas of focus for our group include electronic monitoring of symptoms and use of cannabis in oncology patients. Aims of the center are to promote access to clinical trials, to share the results this research, and to advance the science of cancer treatment and care delivery.
