Breakfast Seminar: Deb Mayer, Director of Cancer Survivorship, School of Nursing, UNC

Due to advances in cancer care, there is a growing group of cancer survivors. This projected growth creates the need to evaluate how we deliver care, when, where, and to whom. There is a growing need to explore the impact of these changes on survivors, caregivers and the health care system and will touch all aspects of the cancer research enterprise.
