Dr. Ioannou's research interests lie at the intersection of cancer care, public health, and patient-centered outcomes. She specializes in registry science, quality of care assessment, and supportive oncology. Her work leverages large-scale data collection to evaluate and improve healthcare delivery for cancer patients, particularly in upper gastrointestinal and thyroid cancers. She has a strong focus on patient-reported outcomes and is pioneering the integration of real-time symptom monitoring into clinical workflows.
Her recent publications reflect a consistent focus on clinical quality registries, PROMs implementation, and consensus-based quality indicators in pancreatic and upper gastrointestinal cancers. These works demonstrate her leadership in translating research into practice through registry-based interventions and evidence generation.
