Karen E. Callahan, Chad L. Cross, and Francisco S. Sy (all Environmental and Occupational Health) published an article on "Low Colorectal Cancer Survival in the Mountain West State of Nevada: A population-based Analysis" in the journal PLOS ONE. 

The study provides baseline information critical to clinicians, public health professionals, and all relevant stakeholders as they attempt to discern why Nevada’s outcomes are vastly divergent from its neighboring Western states and make plans for remediation. Other collaborators on this research include Carmen Ponce from the Nevada Central Cancer Registry and Paulo S. Pinheiro at the University of Miami.
