Breast Cancer

Research Abstract

I am currently a breast surgical oncologist at the Brigham and Women's Hospital and Dana Farber Cancer Institute. My primary area of interest is in neoadjuvant therapies for the treatment of breast carcinoma. I am also interested in novel imaging technology for the prediction of neoadjuvant therapy responses. We are also studying the outcomes of defined study board intervention in women with Ductal Carcinoma in Situ. We are also exploring proteomic analysis of nipple fluid aspirate in women with breast carcinoma compared to the non-cancer population. Finally, we are developing minimally invasive techniques of breast surgery for both benign and malignant disease.
