Current research: 

Our research laboratory is dedicated to transforming surgical oncology care through innovative patient-centered outcomes research. We focus on developing and implementing novel approaches to measuring patient preferences, experiences, and outcomes in esophageal cancer care. Our team combines methodological expertise in patient-reported outcomes, preference-sensitive decision-making, and health services research to improve the value and patient-centeredness of surgical care. Through close collaboration with clinicians and patients, we aim to reshape how surgical decisions are made and how success is measured in thoracic surgery.

Biography: 

Professor Crump, who holds the Jarislowsky Foundation Chair in Thoracic Surgery, leads this multidisciplinary research program at the intersection of surgical outcomes and patient-centered care. He’s a health services researcher interested in patient-centred measures, such are: patient-reported outcomes, patients' preferences for treatment options, and patient experience. His research focuses on understanding what matters most to patients with esophageal cancer. Professor Crump is working to develop better ways to measure patients’ experiences, including their symptoms, quality of life, and what they value most in their treatment. His team is also exploring how to use this information to improve patient care, by making sure their preferences are considered in treatment decisions and by developing tools to predict which patients are at risk for poor outcomes. Ultimately, the research aims to ensure that esophageal cancer care is more patient-centred and effective.
