Conclusion
In the coming years, the BSC will prioritize initiatives focused on expanding the systematic collection of cognitive and psychosocial outcomes and predictive factors across trials, identifying and addressing health inequities in cancer care and outcomes, and promoting evidence-based interventions to improve outcomes for all children, AYAs, and their caregiver. The inclusion of behavioral science aims permits simultaneous evaluation of the neurocognitive and psychosocial impact associated with new advances in treatment. It also helps to expand the pool of COG investigators with expertise in behavioral science and PROs. Through collaborative efforts across COG, the BSC is well-positioned to improve the measurement of relevant outcomes, develop salient interventions, and begin addressing health disparities.
