Bio
As a pediatric oncologist and epidemiologist, Dr. Eric J. Chow's clinical and research focus are on cancer survivorship. He serves as the medical director of the Cancer Survivor Program at Seattle Children’s Hospital and the director of the Prevention Center (CCSG-supported) Shared Resource at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center. Nationally, he chairs the Children’s Oncology Group’s (COG) Survivorship & Outcomes Committee and serve on the Executive Committee of the Childhood Cancer Survivor Study (CCSS), where he co-chairs the Chronic Disease Working Group among other responsibilities. He has been funded on various NCI (K07, R01, R03) and foundation grants focused on cancer survivorship, with a focus on cardiometabolic outcomes and hematopoietic cell transplantation survivors. These studies have featured a variety of methods ranging from population-based administrative data linkages, patient reported outcomes, detailed physiologic measurements, genetic analyses, and counseling- and exercise-based intervention studies. His clinical and research goals are to improve the care of all people who have had cancer through well-designed and detailed follow-up studies. He also has been involved in mentoring various trainees in his home institutions as well as externally through his involvement in the COG and CCSS.
