About
Dr. Danielle Rodin is a health services researcher and radiation oncologist whose work sits at the intersection of oncology, health economics, and value-based care. Her research focuses on evaluating the cost-effectiveness of cancer treatments and identifying the drivers of healthcare spending variation, particularly in head and neck and prostate cancers. In a landmark 2016 study (46 citations), she conducted a cost-effectiveness analysis comparing radiation therapy versus transoral robotic surgery for oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma, providing critical evidence to guide treatment decisions in an era of rising healthcare costs. Dr. Rodin further demonstrated her impact through a large-scale analysis of over 38,000 men with prostate cancer, revealing how physician practice patterns and facility characteristics drive significant spending variation—work that directly informs payment reform strategies to reduce waste. Her research bridges the gap between clinical oncology and health policy, offering actionable insights for improving the efficiency and equity of cancer care delivery.
