Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Rosa Legood"
- Rosa Legood's recent research primarily focuses on the economic evaluation and cost-effectiveness of genetic testing and preventative strategies for cancers, particularly breast and ovarian cancers, with a notable emphasis on BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes.
- Findings suggest that population-based BRCA testing could significantly improve the identification of carriers at risk for breast and ovarian cancers, potentially leading to better screening and prevention outcomes compared to existing family history-based methods.
- Additionally, her work includes evaluations on the effectiveness of interventions to improve cancer screening uptake among underserved populations, highlighting the necessity for tailored approaches in healthcare to address inequities in cancer prevention and management.
