Integrative oncology is a patient-centered, evidence-informed field of cancer care that uses mind and body practices, natural products, and lifestyle modifications from various traditions alongside traditional cancer treatments. Many complementary and alternative medicine approaches have been shown to improve symptom control and quality of life for patients and survivors. The field of integrative oncology has emerged in recent years as interest in and the use of these therapies have grown. The goal of this scientific discipline is to combine evidence-based complementary medicine and traditional cancer treatment to address the diverse needs of patients with cancer and their families. This grant supports an Integrative and Supportive Care Oncology Coordinator to ensure that more kids can be treated on supportive care and integrative oncology clinical trials.

Over 80% of children treated for childhood cancers will become long term survivors. With this success in survival comes the challenge of caring for survivors and their unique long term follow up needs. As late effects of childhood cancer treatment are continuing to be described, it is essential that survivors are enrolled on clinical trials that monitor outcomes to inform late effects guidelines. In addition, more emphasis is being placed on intervention trials for survivors which are critically important in increasing survivors' access to state of the art interventions as well as increasing knowledge about how best to help the survivor population. This grant supports a dedicated Survivorship Clinical Research Associate to ensure that more survivors of childhood cancer can have access to clinical trials targeted at the survivorship population.

Young adulthood is a time filled with exciting possibilities and also difficult challenges. People at this stage of life may be deciding on or attending school, selecting a career or working hard at their jobs, dating or in a relationship, and may be planning for or raising children. A cancer diagnosis does not fit into these plans and goals. Researchers are finding that the biology of the cancers in people of this age group are different, and increasing data indicates that adult patients with some cancers would benefit by being treated on what are traditionally pediatric therapies. Ochsner's Adolescent and Young Adult (AYA) Cancer and Survivor program is the first and only one of its kind in the region. The team is made up of professionals from pediatric and adult medicine. This program is designed for people between the ages of 15 and 39 years of age with cancer -newly diagnosed, actively in therapy and or cancer survivors. This grant supports a Nurse Coordinator who works with new patients in the combined AYA Cancer and Survivor Clinic, to ensure they have access to the best clinical trials for their cancer.

This grant supports a clinical research coordinator to ensure that more kids can be treated on clinical trials, often their best hope for a cure.

This grant supports a Clinical Research Associate to ensure that more kids can be treated on clinical trials, often their best hope for a cure.

This grant supports the Childhood Cancer Survivorship Program at Valley Children's Hospital, providing critical patient data for survivorship researchers.

This grant supports the creation of a Yale University Pediatric Hematology/Oncology tissue bank that will be used for current and future research projects involving the study of pediatric cancers. This repository will provide tissues for researchers seeking to study the biology, genetics and immunity of pediatric cancers. Establishment of this tissue bank will foster the ability of the institution to collaborate on more early phase clinical trials as well as to support discovery of new biomarkers to predict response to treatments.

This grant supports the Nurse Researchers in the UIC/Rush/Stroger COG Program to ensure more kids can be treated on clinical trials, often their best hope for a cure.

This grant supports a Clinical Research Nurse to ensure that more kids can be treated on clinical trials, often their best hope for a cure. In the past, children diagnosed with cancer in the Rio Grande Valley had to travel to cities such as Houston or San Antonio to get state-or-the-art treatment through clinical trials. Physicians at the Vannie Cook Clinic in the Rio Grande Valley now have access to the most advanced trials and latest medications through Children's Oncology Group and other Texas-based clinical trials. This gives patients the opportunity to have the optimal outcome from their cancer therapy. More importantly, parents know that their child is getting the best care available, anywhere. That gives families hope that their child will live a long, healthy life.

This grant supports a research nurse coordinator to ensure that more Adolescent and Young Adult (AYA) patients can be treated on clinical trials, often their best hope for a cure.

This grant supports a research associate to ensure that more kids can be treated on early phase clinical trials, often their best hope for a cure.
