Tahania AhmadPost doctoral research Fellow Email: t.a.ahmad@qmul.ac.ukProfileResearchPublicationsProfileI joined the Centre for Cancer Screening, Prevention and Early Diagnosis as a post-doctoral research fellow in January 2024. At present, my research endeavours primarily revolve around a breast cancer project, wherein I am investigating the efficacy of serum estradiol and other hormonal markers in identifying women who are most likely to respond to preventive treatment for breast cancer. Additionally, my focus extends to understanding the risk factors associated with Oesophageal cancers and elucidating variations across different countries. I am in the final stage of my PhD on “Multimorbidity in cancer survivors in the UK”, particularly focusing on breast, prostate, bladder, colorectal, cervical and lung cancer survivors. I compared the prevalence and incidence of multimorbidity in cancer survivors with non-cancer patients over a ten-year time period using linked CPRD and HES data. Furthermore, I explored ethnic and socio-economic disparities in onset of cancer, multimorbidity and survival in cancer survivors, alongside analysis of primary care utilisation and hospital admissions in this demographic. Previously, I worked as a medical statistician for six years at Barts NHS and Pragmatic Care Clinical Trials Unit (PCTU), QMUL. I hold a Master’s degree in Public Health specialising in Epidemiology from Imperial College, London and a diploma on “Advanced Statistical Methods in Epidemiology” from LSHTM.ResearchResearch Interests: Cancer prevention and screening Longitudinal analysis of multimorbidity in cancer survivors Analysis of observational studies and cohort studies Clinical trials Medical statistics PublicationsFor a complete list of Tahania's publications, please follow the link.
