Brenda Cartmel, Ph.D.
Research Scientist,
Division of Chronic Disease Epidemiology
Dr. Cartmel's primary research interests are in the area of nutrition
and cancer prevention. Dr. Cartmel recently completed a dietary
intervention trial aimed at developing and testing a behavioral
intervention to increase fruit and vegetable intake in patients
treated curatively for early stage cancers of the oral cavity, pharynx
and larynx who are at high risk for developing a second cancer.
In addition to this trial, Dr. Cartmel is participating in a nationwide
quality of life study in cancer survivors in which she is studying
nutritional supplement intake in patients following diagnosis
of cancer. She is also collaborating on an etiologic study of
uterine cancer, a study of fat intake and biomarkers of risk for
breast cancer, a validation study of a novel method for measuring
carotenoids in vivo, and an intervention study to reduce exposure
to isocyanates in autobody shops.
