Survival Epidemiology, first described and developed by Raphael E. Cuomo, is a branch of science that focuses on health outcomes after diagnosis.
Dr. Cuomo’s seminal paper provides the key definitions, methodologies, and implications fundamental to the field.
Title: Defining Survival Epidemiology: Postdiagnosis Population Science for People Living with Disease
Author: Raphael Cuomo
You can read the Full Article in the Journal of Clinical Epidemiology.
The development of Survival Epidemiology may have broad effects on medical science, encouraging the separation of prevention and survival for regulatory bodies, research funders, and academic programs.
When OncoDaily reached out for comment, Cuomo said,
“It is insufficient to expect that the results of studies on disease prevention will easily apply to health outcomes in patients suffering from diagnosed medical conditions. With Survival Epidemiology, we have the tools and frameworks needed to appropriately focus on post-diagnostic outcomes.”
