About
Lynne I. Wagner is a leading health psychologist and behavioral scientist whose research focuses on patient-reported outcomes (PROs), cancer survivorship, and the psychosocial impact of cancer treatment. Her major contributions center on integrating the patient voice into clinical trials, particularly through the development and implementation of rigorous PRO assessments that capture symptom burden, quality of life, and functional well-being. She is a key investigator in cooperative group trials, including the landmark ECOG-ACRIN E3311 study, which examined treatment deintensification for HPV-related oropharyngeal cancer. This work not only advanced surgical credentialing and quality assurance processes but also highlighted the importance of patient-centered endpoints in head and neck oncology. With over 200 publications and more than 10,000 citations, Wagner’s research has profoundly shaped how clinicians evaluate treatment tolerability and survivorship care. She has also contributed to national guidelines on symptom management and cancer care delivery. Her work is essential reading for students and researchers interested in PRO methodology, head and neck cancer survivorship, and the translation of behavioral science into oncology practice.
