Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Michael A. Preston's research has focused on health disparities and cancer detection, particularly within the context of rural and underserved communities. His work includes investigating colorectal cancer screening strategies in resource-limited settings and examining the validation of genetic risk scores for specific populations, such as Arkansas women of color. Preston has also contributed to studies on breast cancer localization techniques, including wire- and magnetic-seed-guided methods, and has explored the effectiveness of sonographic analysis versus excision for axillary staging.

His publications also touch upon broader health care issues, such as disparities in the post-Affordable Care Act era, and behavioral aspects related to health, like the comparison of activity monitors for meeting step guidelines. Preston's scholarship metrics include an h-index of 13, with 77 total publications and 642 total citations.
