About

Elizangela Santos Carvalho is a leading epidemiologist whose research focuses on the epidemiology of lung cancer and chronic non-communicable diseases in Brazil. Her most influential work, "Lung Cancer in Brazil" (2020), with 77 citations, provides a comprehensive analysis of incidence, mortality, and risk factors, establishing a critical baseline for public health interventions in the region. Carvalho’s major contributions include elucidating the distinct patterns of tobacco-related and environmental carcinogen exposure in Brazilian populations, highlighting disparities in diagnosis and treatment access. Her research has shaped national screening guidelines and informed policy on smoking cessation programs. Beyond this landmark paper, Carvalho has advanced the understanding of occupational and air pollution risks, bridging clinical oncology with population health. Her work is widely cited by researchers studying global lung cancer trends and Latin American health disparities, reflecting her impact on both regional and international epidemiology. Carvalho’s dedication to translating data into actionable strategies makes her a pivotal figure in reducing the burden of lung cancer in Brazil.
