About Tracey
Dr Tracey Di Sipio is a Senior Lecturer and cancer epidemiologist in the School of Public Health at the University of Queensland, part of the Faculty of Health, Medicine and Behavioural Sciences. She serves as Co-Chair of the Early and Mid-Career Academics Committee. Her academic background includes a Bachelor of Health Sciences (Public Health), Bachelor (Honours), and Doctor of Philosophy, all from Queensland University of Technology. Dr Di Sipio's research program centers on women’s cancers and health equity, utilizing epidemiological research and behavioural interventions to address survivorship issues. Her work emphasizes under-researched groups, such as women diagnosed with rare gynaecological cancers and advanced disease. She contributes to teaching in public health courses, including epidemiology and cancer-related topics.
Previously affiliated with Queensland University of Technology's School of Public Health, Dr Di Sipio has built a distinguished career in cancer survivorship research. Key publications include the landmark systematic review and meta-analysis "Incidence of unilateral arm lymphoedema after breast cancer: a systematic review and meta-analysis" (The Lancet Oncology, 2013), which has informed global clinical practices on post-treatment morbidity. Other significant works are "Exercise for health: a randomized, controlled trial evaluating the impact of a pragmatic, translational exercise intervention" (Breast Cancer Research and Treatment, 2013), "Adverse breast cancer treatment effects: the economic case for making rehabilitative programs standard of care" (Supportive Care in Cancer, 2015), and the design of "The Lymphedema Evaluation in Gynecological cancer Study (LEGS)" (Cancer Research Frontiers, 2015). Recent outputs encompass "Patients’ experiences of vulvar cancer diagnosis and treatment" (Cancer Survivorship Research & Care, 2024), "Impact of disease recurrence on the supportive care needs of patients with ovarian cancer and their caregivers" (Gynecologic Oncology, 2024), "Survivorship research in advanced gynecological cancer: a scoping review" (Cancer Medicine, 2023), and "Guidelines for the prevention and diagnosis of vaginal and vulvar cancers: A systematic review" (Critical Reviews in Oncology/Hematology, 2025). In 2022, she was part of the University of Queensland team that received the CAPHIA Award for Teaching Excellence for innovative public health education reforms. Her contributions enhance cancer care equity, epidemiological training, and policy through high-impact journals and collaborations.
