Lois B. Travis studies the long-term health effects experienced by cancer survivors, especially people treated for testicular cancer. A major focus is understanding why the chemotherapy drug cisplatin causes side effects like hearing loss, ringing in the ears (tinnitus), and nerve damage, and how a person's genetic makeup influences their risk of these problems. This work combines cancer epidemiology (studying patterns of disease in populations) with pharmacogenomics (how genes affect drug responses).

Publication activity was steady at roughly 10 per year through the late 2010s and surged in 2023 (partly from supplementary dataset entries), with fewer records logged for the most recent years.
