🧪Research Fields 研究领域
🎓Key Contributions 主要贡献
Prostate Cancer Screening Policy and Over-diagnosis
Led the evidence-based revision of prostate cancer screening recommendations at the American Cancer Society, demonstrating through population data that PSA screening had produced epidemic over-diagnosis, and influencing the USPSTF to revise national guidelines — a globally watched model for evidence-based guideline reform.
Cancer Disparities Documentation and Advocacy
Produced landmark analyses of the causes of excess cancer mortality in African American and low-income populations, demonstrating that access disparities rather than biology account for the majority of the Black-White cancer mortality gap, and advocated successfully for NCI investments in cancer disparities research exceeding $500 million.
Representative Works 代表性著作
Cancer disparities by race/ethnicity and socioeconomic status
CA: A Cancer Journal for Clinicians (2018)
Comprehensive analysis quantifying cancer mortality gaps by race and income in the US and attributing the majority of disparities to differential access to screening, diagnosis, and treatment.
