We caught up with Debra L Barton, PhD, RN at the eighth annual Chicago Supportive Oncology Conference. and asked her what she believed were the highlights from the 2012 American Society of Clinical Oncology annual meeting in the area of patient and survivor care research. Dr Barton is involved in research at the Mayo Clinic centering on symptom management in cancer survivors. See the November/December 2012 issue of The Journal of Supportive Oncology for additional ASCO highlights.
