Peters, Edward S.

Edward S. Peters is a Professor at Louisiana State University Health Sciences Center, New Orleans, where he leads research in cancer epidemiology and health disparities. His work focuses on ovarian cancer survival among Black women, examining tumor-stroma spatial contexts of T cell infiltration, neighborhood disorder, and comorbid conditions as determinants of outcomes. He also investigates geographic and contextual influences on pediatric cancer, including treatment-related travel burden, health insurance mediation of neighborhood deprivation, and survival disparities. His recent publications appear in Cancer Epidemiology, Cancer Research, and the American Journal of Epidemiology, with studies on temporal trends in liver cancer incidence by race and ethnicity. His research integrates public health, gynecologic oncology, and health sciences to address cancer care inequities across populations.
