Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Amanda Brandt"
- Amanda Brandt's research focuses on the intersection of genetics and cancer, exploring how genetic factors influence susceptibility and outcomes in cancer diagnosis and treatment, particularly in young adult populations and those undergoing genetic testing.
- Recent findings highlight genetic susceptibility to anthracycline-induced cardiac dysfunction in adolescent and young adult cancer survivors, and the persistence of sewage-associated genetic markers in recycled water, raising concerns for microbial source tracking in environmental studies.
- Brandt's work also emphasizes innovative approaches to genetic counseling, such as web-based education to improve the return of genetic research results, and the effectiveness of telephone vs. in-person disclosure methods in patients undergoing cancer genetic testing.
