Patient / Medical Philosophy: I am a surgeon who specializes in the care and treatment of patients with breast cancer.

I have extensive experience with the sentinel-node biopsy technique and have published research on sentinel-node biopsy in male breast cancer patients, as well as other breast cancer-related topics. I am actively involved in MSKCC's Special Surveillance Breast Program for patients at high risk for developing breast cancer. My current research focuses on the role of PET (positron emission tomography) scanning in patients with breast cancer, and I was awarded a research grant from the Susan G. Komen Foundation. I am also involved in basic science research to investigate how breast cancer develops.
