Principal Investigator “GIS and Breast Cancer Screening in Saint Louis”<br />

NCI R21 8/1/03 1/31/06<br />

The major goals of the project are to determine areas where breast cancer screening is<br />

underutilized in St. Louis, if women living in neighborhoods characterized by poorer<br />

socioeconomic conditions are less likely to be screened <strong>for</strong> breast cancer, and if this<br />

association depends on the geographical classification used to obtain these community<br />

indicators.<br />

Principal Investigator “Radiation Therapy in Older Breast Cancer Patients”<br />

NIH/NCI R21 9/30/01 8/31/05<br />

This exploratory population-based study will identify reasons why rural women 65<br />

years of age and older in Iowa are less likely than their urban counterparts to receive<br />

radiation therapy following conservative surgery <strong>for</strong> stage I-II breast cancer.<br />

Principal Investigator “GIS, Multilevel Modeling and Breast Cancer Screening”<br />

NIH R03 6/1/01 5/31/04<br />

The major goals of this study are to describe rural-urban differences in breast cancer<br />

screening at the level of the Census tract, to determine if ecological factors are<br />

independently associated with breast cancer screening after controlling <strong>for</strong> individuallevel<br />

factors and their interactions, and to determine if rural-urban differences in<br />

screening prevalence exist while controlling <strong>for</strong> important individual and ecological<br />

factors and their interactions associated with breast cancer screening.<br />

Epidemiologist “Development and Validation of a Gene Signature Predictive of<br />

Chemotherapy Resistant Disseminated Breast Cancer Cells”<br />

Barnes-Jewish Hospital Foundation 1/1/06 12/31/06<br />

The major goal of this study is to lead to the generation and implementation of a<br />

molecular test to identify breast cancer patients at high risk of disease recurrence due<br />

to the presence of chemotherapy resistant CTC.<br />
