UCSD launches survival epidemiology to study life after diagnosis
TL;DR
A UC San Diego professor introduces 'survival epidemiology,' a field focused on identifying factors that help people live longer after a disease diagnosis rather than just preventing disease, using large electronic health records to tailor treatments and improve outcomes. The approach ties to Cuomo's broader work, including the Nutritional Epidemiology Risk-Survival Paradox, which suggests some factors linked to higher disease risk may enhance survival after diagnosis.
