lung cancer

I co-first authored an article in BMC Cancer entitled “Neighborhood-Level Deprivation and Survival in Lung Cancer” co-led with Dr. Kathleen Kennedy and Dr. Ignacio Jusue-Torres. We assessed the potential associations of neighborhood deprivation, DNA methylation, and lung cancer mortality in a multicenter retrospective cohort study.

I co-authored an article in Cancer Epidemiology, Biomarkers & Prevention entitled “Geographic Patterns in U.S. Lung Cancer Mortality and Cigarette Smoking” led by Alaina Shreves and Dr. Rena Jones. We applied geospatial statistical methods to describe patterns in lung cancer mortality rates (2005-2018) in relation to patterns in cigarette smoking prevalences (1997-2003) by sex at the US county level.
