CU Anschutz In The News

Researchers from the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus recently found that young adult cancer survivors often struggle with issues surrounding debt and work. "This project combined the expertise of researchers with diverse training from major cancer centers throughout the U.S. in a team-science approach, which made it possible to gather and explore data from adolescent and young adult cancer survivors in new ways,” said researcher Betsy Risendal, PhD. “As a result, this is among the first and largest studies to examine the impact of cancer diagnosis and treatment on work-related outcomes in this important understudied group of survivors.”
