Her research interests include de-intensification strategies in cancer care, health economics, and predictive modeling. Key projects involve analyzing systemic therapies for melanoma, developing budget-impact models (PRIMCAT-MEL), and investigating immune checkpoint inhibitor complications. She has contributed to phase I/II trials (e.g., CELEBRATE) and retrospective cohort studies on treatment outcomes.
Dr. Soon aims to advance statistical analysis skills in R and modeling to address healthcare inefficiencies. Her work bridges clinical oncology with policy, focusing on optimizing resource allocation and patient-centered care. Despite no listed awards, her research aligns with high-impact areas in oncology and health systems. She collaborates with multidisciplinary teams in labs like the Cancer Health Services Research Unit.
