Laurin Cristiano

Laurin Cristiano, MD, is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Gynecology and Obstetrics at Loma Linda University School of Medicine. Her clinical and research focus lies in gynecologic oncology, particularly in endometrial cancer and bone metastasis detection via PET/CT imaging.

• Doctor of Medicine (2014), University of Colorado Health Sciences Center

Her research explores the prevalence of bone metastases in uterine cancers, the role of PET/CT in diagnosis, and genetic risk factors such as BRCA mutations in Latina women. Publications highlight serous histology as a key risk factor for osseous metastases and investigate disparities in cancer incidence.

Current studies emphasize optimizing imaging protocols for early cancer detection and understanding hereditary genetic markers in underserved populations. Collaborations include interdisciplinary work with gynecologic oncologists and radiologists to improve diagnostic standards.
