Research scientist at Kaiser Permanente Division of Research, Dr. Candyce Kroenke, MPH, ScD, discusses recent research that indicated post-menopausal women with colorectal cancer would die sooner from their disease if they had a lack of support from their families, friends and social networks when they were diagnosed than those who had high levels of support. This research underscores the importance of identifying patients at risk of low social support and providing them with additional resources, including emotional support and logistical help.
