Featured conditions
James R. Cerhan, M.D., Ph.D., is a cancer epidemiologist who uses epidemiologic approaches to study the causes and outcomes of cancer in people. Dr. Cerhan's research focuses on lymphoma and on building and sustaining infrastructure to facilitate research on lymphoma and other health conditions. Dr. Cerhan also is principal investigator of the Lymphoma Epidemiology Laboratory.
Dr. Cerhan's research is improving patient care in a variety of ways. Identifying the causes of lymphoma and other cancers helps doctors figure out prevention strategies and who is most at risk. Studying ways lymphoma affects people leads to better outcomes and survivorship. In addition, building and maintaining a strong system for medical research helps lower healthcare costs and turns new discoveries into treatments faster.
