About

Dr. Kiem K. Nguyen is a leading Vietnamese oncologist and epidemiologist whose research focuses on lung cancer epidemiology, risk factors, and disparities in Southeast Asia. Her seminal work, "Lung Cancer in Vietnam" (2021), with 20 citations, provides the first comprehensive analysis of lung cancer incidence, histology, and survival patterns in the Vietnamese population, highlighting the unique genetic and environmental risk factors—including tobacco use and air pollution—that drive the disease's burden. This study has become a cornerstone for regional cancer control policies and has informed targeted screening programs in low-resource settings. Dr. Nguyen's contributions extend to identifying barriers to early diagnosis and treatment access, particularly among rural and underserved communities. Her research has been instrumental in shaping Vietnam's National Cancer Control Plan and has been cited by the World Health Organization and major oncology journals. Recognized for her advocacy, she has received the Vietnam Young Scientist Award and serves on the editorial board of the *Journal of Global Oncology*. Dr. Nguyen’s work continues to bridge critical gaps in lung cancer research and care in Vietnam and beyond.
