Lora A. Thompson, PhD

Research Interests:

I am primarily interested in how the cancer experience impacts the quality of life of individuals with cancer. Other interests include pain, caregiver quality of life, behavior change, and skin cancer detection and prevention practices.


Clinical Interests:

My clinical interest is in psychosocial oncology. I provide outpatient assessment and treatment services to address patients' psychosocial concerns related to cancer diagnosis, treatment, and survivorship. My focus is on providing support, managing symptoms such as pain and distress, and improving coping skills.
