Research Overview

Dr. Kenney conducts clinical outcomes research focused on childhood cancer survivors. She is a principal investigator on the Childhood Cancer Survivors Study (CCSS) in the areas of second primary cancers and chronic disease. Dr Kenney is also the principal investigator on institutional clinical studies investigating male reproductive function, renal function, and gastrointestinal disease in childhood cancer survivors. Research interests also include investigating models of clinical services to address the ongoing medical needs of childhood cancer survivors.

 

Research Background
