Dr Finian Bannon

School of Medicine, Dentistry and Biomedical Sciences

Dr Bannon’s main research interest and expertise lies in applying new methodological approaches to better understand the causes of cancer patient survival.

Current research focuses on 1) the use of funnel plots to present survival estimates, 2) using causal-inference mediation methods, such as the g‑computation formula, to estimate under-treatment in cancer patients, and 3) estimating robust survival estimates from small numbers of patients, such as rare cancers or small regions, for comparison purposes.
