    Clinical investigations in breast cancer include institutional and NSABP studies of chemoprevention, adjuvant therapy, psychosocial interventions, treatment of metastatic disease, methods of decreasing anthracycline cardiotoxicity, and modulation of multidrug resistance. Research in meta-analysis includes the performance of meta-analysis in a wide variety of settings in cancer treatment by the international Meta-Analysis Group in Cancer.

    Research Interest

    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.

    Research Interest

    Dr. Guardino has studied the mechanisms by which the immune system recognizes foreign substances like viruses, microorganisms and cancer and the ways the immune system becomes deregulated and attacks “self” as seen in autoimmunity. Her research identified the cellular interactions involved in immune recognition and has led to treatment strategies for cancer using immune therapies and biologic treatments.
