Dr. Eric Chow is an expert in cancer survivorship. He focuses on survivors of childhood cancers and survivors of blood stem cell transplantation of all ages. His goal is to help these survivors live healthier lives by better preventing, detecting, and treating late effects of cancer therapies. In particular, he identifies risk factors that are linked to heart disease and other cardiovascular complications in cancer survivors. These may include medication regimens, genetics, and health conditions like obesity. His research ranges from large-scale analyses of medical records data to clinical trials of health-promoting interventions. Dr. Chow holds leadership positions within the Children’s Oncology Group’s Outcomes and Survivorship Committee and the National Cancer Institute-sponsored Childhood Cancer Survivor Study.
Dr. Chow earned his MD with thesis from the University of California, San Francisco, and his MPH from the University of California, Berkeley in Epidemiology and Biostatistics.
