Senior Research Biostatistician Manager, Consulting Service
Current Research Interests
Ms. Riedel's collaborations involve work with the Health Outcomes Group, Nuclear Medicine Service, and more recently with members of the Sarcoma Program Project. Various projects have included 1) influence of hospital and surgeon volume on outcomes following radical prostatectomy (using the SEER-Medicare linked databases), 2) effect of a low fat diet on PSA levels in men at risk for prostate cancer, 3) evaluation of the additional value of whole body FDG-PET over CT in the staging of patients with suspected metastatic colorectal carcinoma, and 4) assessment of prognostic factors in patients with low-grade oligodendroglioma.
Ms Riedel currently serves as Randomization Coordinator of the Biostatistics Service and is responsible for the design and maintenance of the treatment allocation schema for the Center's randomized protocols.
