Research Description
Dr. Andrykowski’s research interests are focused within the fields of behavioral and psychosocial oncology. His research examines the broad impact of cancer and cancer treatment upon the lives of cancer patients and cancer caregivers. Specific cancer-related outcomes which have been investigated include quality of life, psychological adjustment, and mental health outcomes, positive attitudinal and behavioral change, cognitive functioning, and physical symptom development (e.g., nausea and vomiting, fatigue, menopausal symptoms, pain). His research also examines the impact of participation in cancer screening and diagnostic testing as well as testing for hereditary cancers. Specific outcomes which have been investigated include distress, benefit-finding, cancer risk perceptions, and future adherence with cancer screening recommendations.
