Dr. Stacey Marjerrison is a pediatric oncologist and the Medical Director of the Pediatric Oncology Late Effects Program at the McMaster Children's Hospital, as well as an Associate Professor of Pediatrics at McMaster University, with an Associate appointment to the Department of Health Research Methods, Evidence and Impact. She holds the Ronald Barr Professorship in Pediatric Oncology as the inaugural recipient, and is the former Chair of the SIOP Global Health Network T&CM Working Group.
Dr. Marjerrison's areas of research interest are in supportive care for children with cancer, and in the interaction between socio-demographic determinants of health and malignancy. As applied to survivors of childhood cancer, this includes evaluating and building care programs that encourage survivors to engage in healthy active lifestyles. More broadly, this research interest focuses on provision of care for marginalized populations, including children from the Hamilton region who are underserved, Indigenous children in Canada and for children in low-income countries.
In this Faculty Development session, Dr. Marjerrison reviews what T&CM encompasses, evidence for T&CM use in childhood cancer, and how to approach T&CM use among the families you care for.
