Dr Santin's research is focused on all aspects of the cancer trajectory, from pre malignant, through malignant and end of life care and incorporating the increasingly important component of cancer survivorship.


It not only aims to understand how we can improve cancer services but also how we can help cancer patients and their families to manage and adapt their behavior to promote quality and sustained survival and the prevention of cancer recurrence.
