Additionally, Dr. Wen has received funding for projects exploring the use of mobile text messaging to enhance adherence to adjuvant hormone therapy in breast cancer survivors. Her work also includes examining the impact of tai chi on alleviating joint pain induced by aromatase inhibitors, aiming to improve medication compliance and quality of life for patients.
