Nicole Geissen is an Associate Professor at Rush University's Rush Medical College, affiliated with the Department of Cardiovascular and Thoracic Surgery. Her research focuses on thoracic surgery outcomes, lung cancer prognosis, and the impact of clinical factors such as sarcopenia and cannabis use on patient survival. She collaborates with experts like Drs. Seder, Liptay, and Arndt, contributing to studies published in journals like JTCVS Open and Journal of Thoracic Disease.
Her work addresses critical areas including conditional survival analysis in non-small cell lung cancer, predictive models for post-surgical outcomes, and barriers to lung cancer screening in primary care. Notable contributions include analyzing the association between thoracic sarcopenia and gender-specific survival rates and redefining surgical risk for stage IIIA non-small cell lung cancer through pooled data.
Dr. Geissen's networks include key co-authors and researchers in thoracic oncology and surgical outcomes. Her research often integrates clinical databases (e.g., General Thoracic Surgery Database) to improve surgical protocols and patient care strategies.
