Samilia Obeng-Gyasi studies breast and colorectal cancer, with particular attention to how social and biological factors—such as social vulnerability, financial distress, and allostatic load (a measure of cumulative stress on the body)—affect treatment outcomes and survival. Much of this work focuses on surgical and treatment decision-making, including neoadjuvant (pre-surgery) therapy, chemotherapy use, and disparities in cancer care. This research area would suit students interested in cancer health disparities, surgical oncology outcomes, and the biological pathways linking social determinants of health to cancer prognosis.
