Q & A Spotlight

Marilyn Schapira, MD, MPH, Principal Investigator; Economic Impact of Clinical Trials for Childhood Cancers
How might the results of your PRC research impact families’ decision-making around treatment for their children?
Our main goal is to help families make this decision at a time when they have to decide how to enter a clinical trial. If we can give them information about not only what happens in the immediate treatment and in the few years after treatment, but how patients are functioning 5-10 years later, it may help families with that initial decision. That’s a big motivating factor for this study.
