Department of Symptom Research, Division of Internal Medicine
About Dr. Xin Shelley Wang
Xin Shelley Wang's clinical and translational research focuses on the measurement of patient-reported outcomes (PROs), the impact of culture and nationality on symptom reporting, and mechanism-driven interventions for cancer-related symptoms. She investigates symptom burden in cancer survivors and in patients who are undergoing active treatment or who have advanced disease. Among those undergoing aggressive therapies, such as concurrent chemoradiation, cancer surgery, and stem cell transplant, her research in the area of cancer-related fatigue and other sickness symptoms has illustrated the important relationship between inflammatory cytokines and the development of major symptom burden―a better understanding of which might lead to mechanism-driven symptom control. She has expertise in conducting longitudinal studies and interpreting the clinical meaningfulness of PRO data. These methods are applicable to both clinical practice and clinical trials.
The symptom assessment tools that Dr. Wang has developed and validated, including the Brief Pain Inventory (BPI), Brief Fatigue Inventory (BFI), and various disease-specific and treatment-specific modules and language versions of the MD Anderson Symptom Inventory (MDASI), are widely used in clinical practice and in research in China and other countries.
Dr. Wang is the principal investigator for grants funded by the National Cancer Institute of the US National Institutes of Health and by the American Cancer Society, focusing on the development of PRO-based clinical methods for evaluating the symptomatic benefit and/or burden of cancer treatments and for improving perioperative care. As principal investigator, she leads the project design, oversees progress, and collaborates with research and clinical faculty across the institution.
Dr. Wang contributes to international clinical research and education on symptom science, which investigates patient-reported symptoms and their impact on functional status and quality of life. Her work has provided a comparison of cross-cultural, cross-national similarities and differences in symptom reporting.
Dr. Wang's current projects are focused on developing targeted PRO assessment tools (based on the MDASI and its modules) to assess the symptom burden related to specific cancers and treatment modalities and on establishing clinically useful methods for incorporating these PROs into routine patient care. The results of her studies should provide strong support for the inclusion of PROs as new outcome measures to improve the care of patients with cancer.
Dr. Wang received her medical degree in China and practiced oncology there for 10 years. She has published more than 100 papers in peer-reviewed journals, some in high-impact journals.

Research Interests
Dr. Wang's research focuses on the symptoms in cancer survivors or patients who are undergoing active treatment or who have advanced disease. She has been involved in the development and validation of patient-reported outcome (PRO) symptom assessment tools in cancer patients, with different diseases and languages. Among cancer patients undergoing aggressive therapies, such as concurrent chemoradiation, cancer surgery and stem cell transplant, her research in the area of cancer-related fatigue and other sickness symptoms has illustrated the important relationship between inflammatory cytokines and the development of major symptom burden, a better understanding of which might lead to potential mechanism-driven symptom control. Dr. Wang contributed on multiple aspects of methodological research on interpretation of the PRO tools. She has expertise for conducting longitudinal studies and interpreting the clinical meaningful of PRO data. These methods are applicable to clinical practice and clinical trials. Dr. Wang also contributed to the international clinical research and education on symptom science that investigated patient reported symptoms and their impact on functional status and quality of life. Her work provided a comparison of cross-cultural, cross-national similarities and differences in symptom reporting
