“I want to help improve cure rates for childhood cancer and increase the quality of life for children and families overcoming cancer.”
— Dr. Chow
What are your goals as a researcher?
I focus on survivors of childhood cancers to help them live healthier lives by preventing, detecting and treating late effects of cancer therapies. I am interested in better understanding the burden and risk factors for cardiovascular outcomes after childhood cancer therapy and stem cell transplantation.
