Her recent study, conducted with Johns Hopkins oncologists, showed that patients with both an rheumatic disease and lung cancer who were diagnosed earlier had better survival outcomes compared to patients without such rheumatic conditions. Cappelli discussed her research in advance of a presentation at the American College of Rheumatology / Association of Rheumatology Professionals 2022 annual conference.
