Measurement of chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy across the adult lifespan

Description

We are looking for an inquisitive, motivated, and hard-working student to work on a study assessing chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy in women undergoing breast cancer treatment. More specifically, the student will help to determine the validity and reliability of measures of chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy as well as its physical and psychosocial impact in older and younger women. The selected student will work under the supervision of Lynn Gauthier and her co-investigators. Students from the School of Psychology will be co-supervised by Dr. Josée Savard. The selected student will have the opportunity to work alongside a team of leading experts in psychosocial oncology and palliative care within l'équipe de recherche Michel-Sarrazin en oncologie psychosociale et soins palliatifs.
