Dr. Dylan O'Sullivan
Improving cancer screening for people who have previously had cancer
People who have previously had cancer are at increased risk of developing new cancers. Current cancer screening guidelines do not consider the unique risks this population faces. Dr Dylan O’Sullivan is studying how well people with a history of cancer follow screening advice, what barriers stand in their way and who might benefit from enhanced screening. His goal: to develop evidence-based, personalized screening recommendations that improve survival and outcomes for people living with and beyond cancer.

Helping young people with cancer express their wishes for future care
Adolescents and young adults with advanced cancer often have worse medical and emotional outcomes than people diagnosed at other ages, yet many have never had the chance to express their wishes for future care. Alongside people with lived experience, Dr Perri Tutelman is developing and rolling out a new tool designed specifically to help young people with advanced cancer reflect on and communicate their values, wishes and preferences for care.
