STATEMENT OF RESEARCH FOCUS
My primary focus is oncology treatment outcomes measurement and determinants of successful care outcomes. Oncology care outcomes include quality of life, functional status, costs and treatment compliance, and success determinants include access to care, gender, race, and health literacy. My secondary focus is translational research of upper aerodigestive tract malignancies.
