Scientific Focus
Current Research Interests
My research interests are focused on minimizing the impact of breast cancer from a diagnostic and therapuetic standpoint. Breast MRI is a powerful tool to facilitate the screening for and staging of breast cancer, and can be valuable adjunct to guide breast surgery. Oncoplastic surgical techniques optimize cosmesis after breast cancer surgery. Accelerated radiotherapy after lumpectomy decreases radiotherapy treatment times from 6 weeks to just 1 to 5 days.
Clinical Trials
- Not Recruiting Letrozole in Treating Postmenopausal Women Who Have Received Hormone Therapy for Hormone Receptor-Positive Breast Cancer
- Not Recruiting Phase II Anastrozole and ZD6474 in Neoadjuvant Treatment of Postmenopausal Hormone Receptor-Positive Breast Cancer
- Not Recruiting Surgery to Remove the Sentinel Lymph Node and Axillary Lymph Nodes After Chemotherapy in Treating Women With Stage II, Stage IIIA, or Stage IIIB Breast Cancer
- Recruiting Early Surgery or Standard Palliative Therapy in Treating Patients With Stage IV Breast Cancer
- Not Recruiting Accelerated Partial Breast Irradiation Following Lumpectomy for Breast Cancer
