Sylvia K. Plevritis

Sylvia K. Plevritis is a Professor of Radiology at the Stanford School of Medicine and holds a courtesy appointment in Management Science and Engineering. She is also a Stanford Health Policy Associate. Her research focuses on developing computational and informatics tools to integrate multi-modality data (molecular signatures, imaging, clinical outcomes) for cancer diagnosis, treatment, and screening strategies.

Key areas include mathematical modeling of breast and lung cancer screening outcomes, spatial omics analysis of tumor microenvironments, and cost-effectiveness evaluations of healthcare interventions. Her work bridges disciplines like oncology, radiology, and systems biology, with collaborations spanning clinical, computational, and policy domains.

Recent articles highlight advancements in spatial biology frameworks (e.g., MONTAGE), tumor-immune interactions, and precision medicine strategies. Her modeling contributions inform public health policies, such as US Preventive Services Task Force guidelines for cancer screening.
