OverviewAI-generated summary
Dr. Susanne K. Jeffus is a Professor of Pathology at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences (UAMS) College of Medicine. She is a board-certified Anatomic and Clinical Pathologist with subspecialty certifications in Cytopathology and Blood Banking and Transfusion Medicine. Dr. Jeffus also serves as the Pathology Residency Program Director at UAMS.
Her research focuses on the diagnostic interpretation of various medical conditions, with a significant emphasis on cancer-related molecular mechanisms and diagnostic pitfalls. Recent publications include studies on the interpretation of p16 and p53 in squamous cell carcinoma of the vulva, the spectrum of malignant diagnoses in cerebrospinal fluid cytology, and the expression of TLE1 in carcinoid tumors of the lung. She has also investigated the diagnostic yield of pulmonologist-performed EUS-B-FNA for subdiaphragmatic lesions and reported on sudden vision loss secondary to metastatic lung adenocarcinoma.
Dr. Jeffus leads a research group and has collaborated with several colleagues at UAMS on shared publications, including Meredith Verret, Nikhil Meena, Sarah Vestal, and Charles M. Quick. Her scholarly work includes 67 total publications and has been cited 711 times, with an h-index of 16.
