Susan G. Fisher, Ph.D.

See information for Patients. Viewing information for Researchers.

Dr. Fisher's independent research focuses on the investigation of strategies to improve the primary prevention and early detection of cancer in the community. She has completed studies related to the participation of minority women in cancer control trials and to factors associated with health behaviors of women at high risk of hereditary breast cancer. Related to her strong interest in cancer etiology, particularly in virally-induced malignancies, her research has included cervical, gastric, respiratory, and hematologic cancers. Dr. Fisher has also been involved in the development and conduct of several multi-institutional clinical trials. She maintains a strong interest in methodologic issues related to the planning, implementation and analysis of clinical investigations. She has directed her efforts toward integrating these epidemiologic and biostatistical concepts into a comprehensive 'evidence-based medicine' approach to medical education.
