Outcomes and Survivorship
Founded in 2015 to meet the needs of the growing population of cancer survivors
The Institute for Cancer Outcomes and Survivorship (ICOS) at UAB aims to reduce the burden of cancer and its sequelae across all segments of the population, through interdisciplinary research, health promotion and education, envisioning a world where cancer survivors live long and healthy lives.
Members
ICOS members include epidemiologists, biostatisticians, physician scientists, behavioral scientists, nurse scientists and molecular biologists engaged in examining health outcomes in cancer survivors across all cancer diagnoses, all ages, and across the entire trajectory of disease (diagnosis to end-of-life).
Research
The unifying and overarching goal for all ICOS members is to understand the underlying causes of health issues faced by cancer survivors through the conduct of cutting edge research. ICOS members use research results to inform interventions to improve the health and well-being of cancer survivors across all walks of life.
Seminars
ICOS sponsors a monthly Cancer Outcomes seminar presented by leading experts on wide-ranging topics related to cancer outcomes and survivorship.
