This includes harnessing data from cancer registries, administrative claims, and population-based and multi-center cohort studies to understand the factors that influence the quality and intensity of care that patients with advanced cancer receive during treatment, survivorship, and end-of-life care. Another major focus of Dr. Wright’s research is developing and disseminating scalable interventions to improve symptom management, quality of life, and outcomes for patients with advanced cancer and their family caregivers.
