The Process of Cancer Care Cyber Discussion (PC3) series explores the way in which individuals, teams, and healthcare organizations can act and interact to improve health through cancer care delivery. The PC3 series is sponsored by the Process of Care Research Branch (PCRB), the newly realigned Branch within the Division of Cancer Control and Population Sciences at the National Cancer Institute. The PC3 series will consider major topics in cancer prevention and control and pose questions for discussion among researchers and providers of care that help elaborate important areas for future research.

Each Cyber Discussion in the series will feature a live presentation and interactive discussion on topics in behavioral influences upon cancer care. Nationally recognized leaders in the subject areas will present an overview and prepare specific questions for discussion among the participants. During the discussion sessions, participants will engage via a chat function to respond, comment, and pose additional questions for consideration.

Researchers at all levels of career and education, as well as practitioners and caregivers, are welcome to participate to learn more about behavioral influences upon cancer care, and join the dialogue on improving health through cancer care delivery.

The Cyber Discussion sessions, including the message board discussion, will be recorded and archived for later viewing.
