The Department of Symptom Research at the MD Anderson Cancer Center is a multidisciplinary team consisting of researchers and practitioners who are concerned with developing and implementing better methods of cancer symptom assessment and treatments. They have clinical trials underway focusing on educational, behavioral and medical interventions for cancer pain and fatigue.
Perhaps the most well-known accomplishment of this center is the development of the Brief Pain Inventory (BPI), which was developed by Dr. Charles Cleeland for the rapid assessment of pain in people with cancer. Here’s a link to the BPI User’s Guide.
