Dr. Fogh's research bridges radiation oncology and integrative medicine to reduce treatment toxicity and improve cancer outcomes. She investigates the interplay of stress, hormones, cardiometabolic health, and the microbiome on symptoms like fatigue and neurocognition ("chemo brain"), while pioneering evidence-based complementary approaches for symptom management. Her work includes developing the first national cooperative group for integrative interventions targeting esophagitis prevention.

Dr. Fogh founded and leads a national cooperative research group advancing evidence-based integrative oncology interventions, significantly contributing to clinical trial infrastructure in this emerging field.
