Giovanna Masala - Epidemiology

Author Information

Giovanna Masala is affiliated with the Cancer Risk Factors and Lifestyle Epidemiology Unit at the Cancer Research and Prevention Institute - ISPO located in Florence, Italy. The focus of her research is on the epidemiology of cancer, with particular emphasis on understanding the risk factors and the impact of lifestyle choices on cancer development and prevention.

Research Contributions

Giovanna Masala has made significant contributions to the field of epidemiology, particularly in cancer research. Her work encompasses a range of topics, including the early detection of ovarian cancer, the impact of physical activity on coronary heart disease, environmental contamination risks, dietary influences on cancer risk, and the genetic underpinnings of reproductive aging and its link to coronary heart disease. Her research is often conducted within the framework of large cohort studies like EPIC (European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition), underscoring her commitment to advancing understanding through robust, population-based research methodologies.
