The primary focus of my clinical research has been on clinical, pathological and molecular factors which may predict for outcomes in breast cancer patients treated with radiation therapy, ethnic variations in breast cancer, and quality improvement in breast health care delivery. I have been on the board of directors of the National Accreditation Program for Breast Centers (NAPBC) of the American College of Surgeons for the last 5 years, and have worked to develop national guidelines, standards and a surveying process for accreditation of breast centers. I have also been interested in investigating radiation techniques. I am the medical director of Radiation Therapy at one of our busiest Satellite Hospital Lawrence and Memorial Hospital in Waterford. I am on the editorial board for the Journal of Clinical Oncology and The Breast Journal, and am an Associate Senior Breast Editor for International Journal of Radiation Therapy, Biology, Physics. I am also a member of the American College of Radiology Breast Appropriateness Criteria Committee to established clinical guidelines for breast cancer treatment.
