HESI THRIVE charts new futures for cancer patients and survivors by making patient QUALITY OF LIFE an active research priority.

The biomedical field has made tremendous strides in turning many cancers into survivable diseases.  However, treatment-related effects can:

  • Impact a patient’s ability to adhere to and realize the full benefit of existing therapies;
  • Make daily tasks challenging and reduce overall quality of life;
  • Lead to significantly higher incidence of severe chronic illness in survivors;
  • Include cardiac dysfunction or failure, pulmonary problems, neurological issues, liver toxicity, and endocrine disorders among others.

THRIVE fills a critical gap in funding for foundational research in support of future protective therapies, mitigation strategies and a next generation of therapy and therapy-support that will enhance the ability for cancer patients and survivors to THRIVE.
