Jessica Y. Islam, PhD, MPH is a cancer epidemiologist and health services researcher focused on evaluating and intervening on cancer care disparities across the continuum, at the intersection of infections and cancer. Her research interests include the prevention of cancers caused by infection, disparities of treatment and outcomes among metastatic cancer patients, and disparities in cancer care of people living with HIV in the US and globally. Her research focuses on cervical cancer prevention through evaluating trends in guideline-adherent screening nationally, improving HPV vaccination uptake, and evaluating disparities in trends of HPV vaccination provider recommendation in the US. Dr. Islam’s research program also focuses on evaluating cancer care outcomes among people living with HIV (PLWH) in the US using multi-payer health insurance claims and large cancer-focused databases. Her research focuses on the epidemiology of cancer among PLWH and evaluating disparities by race/ethnicity and HIV serostatus in curative and palliative cancer treatment receipt. In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, Dr. Islam has developed research projects to evaluate the behavioral, mental health, and social impact of the pandemic on cancer survivors and adults with chronic diseases broadly.
