معرفی
Palmi Shah is an Associate Professor at Rush Medical College, Department of Body Imaging, Rush University. Their research focuses on body composition analysis in oncology patients, particularly sarcopenia and cachexia in lung and esophageal cancers. Shah investigates imaging biomarkers for early cancer detection, lung cancer screening protocols, and clinical outcomes of therapeutic interventions. They collaborate extensively on biomarker panels for pulmonary nodules and radiology-driven multidisciplinary care teams.
Research interests include the prognostic value of skeletal muscle metrics, impact of body composition changes during chemotherapy, and optimization of lung cancer screening programs. Their work bridges radiology, oncology, and clinical practice to improve patient outcomes through advanced imaging techniques and biomarker development.
Publications highlight contributions to understanding cachexia mechanisms, refining CT-based muscle measurements, and evaluating new tools for pulmonary embolism management. Shah collaborates with institutions on biomarker validation and clinical trial design, emphasizing translational research with direct clinical impact.
