Innovative survivorship research with practical application to clinical practice, and promoting effective self-management for health and wellness improvement.
The Electronic Living Laboratory for Interdisciplinary Cancer Survivorship Research (ELLICSR) is a collaborative space for research into health, wellness and cancer survivorship. The Centre provides space for researchers, clinicians and survivors, with programs designed to inform and engage survivors in self-management of symptoms as well as late and long-term effects of their illness and treatment. ELLICSR also provides space for engagement with supportive care community organizations that work to meet the needs of cancer survivors.
