About
Jan M. Eberth is a leading health services and cancer epidemiologist whose research focuses on the intersection of health policy, geographic information science, and cancer prevention and control. Her work has significantly advanced our understanding of how healthcare delivery systems, particularly surgical innovations like robotic-assisted procedures, impact patient outcomes and disparities. In her highly cited 2017 study, "Differences in Effectiveness and Use of Robotic Surgery in Patients Undergoing Minimally Invasive Colectomy," Eberth and her team demonstrated that while robotic colectomy offers comparable clinical outcomes to traditional laparoscopy, its adoption is shaped by patient demographics and hospital characteristics, raising critical questions about equitable access to emerging technologies. With over 30 citations, this work exemplifies her broader impact in translating complex data into actionable insights for clinicians and policymakers. Eberth’s contributions extend to mapping cancer care deserts, evaluating screening interventions, and mentoring the next generation of public health researchers. Her research, often supported by the National Cancer Institute, continues to inform evidence-based strategies for reducing cancer burden and improving surgical care equity across diverse populations.
