Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center, part of the University of Miami Health System and Miller School of Medicine, has announced the launch of the Sylvester Survivorship and Supportive Care Institute—a dedicated survivorship institute focused on meeting the full spectrum of needs of the growing cancer survivor population in South Florida.
Marlon L. Wong, associate professor of clinical physical therapy at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine, was awarded a grant from Gabrielle’s Angel Foundation for Cancer Research. The three-year, $225,000 award will support research focused on improving quality of life for patients living with chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy and other long-term effects of cancer treatment.
