The goal of behavioral oncology is to understand and explain the role and impact of behaviors at all phases in the cancer trajectory -- from prevention and detection to diagnosis and early treatment, to survivorship, recurrence, and/or death. Each chapter includes summaries of recent research on cancer-related behavioral interventions, discussions of the studies summarized, and suggestions for future research. The book is a product of collaboration among members of the Behavioral Cooperative Oncology Group of the Mary Margaret Walther Program for Cancer Care Research at the Walther Cancer Institute in Indianapolis, Indiana.

This volume focuses on how writing technologies, specifically digital technologies, affect research - shaping the questions asked, the sites studied, the methodologies used, ethical issues, conclusions, and the actions taken by scholars, researchers, and teachers. The focus of each chapter is on articulating particular methodologies and ethical approaches for conducting digital research. It will offer experienced and new researchers an introduction to possible approaches and related methodological and ethical issues.
