Research Synopsis:

I am a breast surgical oncologist at Women’s College Hospital and surgeon-scientist based at Women’s College Research Institute. My clinical research program is focused on understanding and improving outcomes for patients with breast cancer. My areas of research focus include patient-reported outcomes/patient experience, surgical decision-making including contralateral prophylactic mastectomy and implications of neoadjuvant therapy, treatment de-escalation, outcomes after ambulatory breast surgery, disparities in cancer care and lobular breast cancer. I employ a combination of qualitative and quantitative methodology, especially cohort studies and using population-based administrative databases such as ICES and SEER.
