Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Rutu Rathod's research focuses on environmental exposures and their impact on health outcomes, particularly in relation to cancer and congenital anomalies. Her work investigates the spatial relationship between residential proximity to industrial developments, such as oil and gas wells, and cancer survival rates in children. Additionally, Rathod examines geographic accessibility and neighborhood factors influencing the completion of cancer screening, including low-dose CT scans for lung cancer and cervical cancer screening, within urban safety-net populations. Her studies also explore disparities in treatment outcomes for pediatric acute lymphoblastic leukemia and the association of multi-level factors with cancer screening adherence. Rathod has published on neighborhood disparities and their influence on pediatric cancer treatment, as well as on factors affecting false positive results in lung cancer screening.
