Sarocha Chootipongchaivat

Sarocha Chootipongchaivat is a Researcher in the Public Health department at Erasmus Medical Center, specializing in breast cancer research and modeling. Her work focuses on mathematical modeling approaches to address critical questions in breast cancer screening programs and healthcare policy.

Her research interests include breast cancer screening effectiveness, false positive rates in mammography, cost-effectiveness analysis of screening programs, and modeling the natural history of breast cancer. Dr. Chootipongchaivat's work frequently involves international collaborations, particularly with the Cancer Intervention and Surveillance Modeling Network (CISNET).

Her publication record demonstrates expertise in applying mathematical models to public health questions, with particular focus on breast cancer screening programs. Her research spans methodological development, application to specific populations (including Singapore and women with Down syndrome), and analysis of long-term screening outcomes.

Her work has been cited extensively across multiple publications, with her 2020 article on ductal carcinoma in situ modeling receiving 28 citations and her 2021 cost-effectiveness analysis of Singapore's screening program receiving 14 citations, indicating significant impact in the field.
