About Dana-Farber Cancer Institute
For more than 60 years, Dana-Farber Cancer Institute has had one goal: to reduce the suffering
caused by cancer through advanced clinical care and cutting-edge scientific research. As a principal
teaching affiliate of Harvard Medical School, we are able to attract many of the best and brightest
physicians in the world to pursue this mission.
At Dana-Farber, we are committed to a multidisciplinary, compassionate, and collaborative model of care
that truly puts patients and their families at the center of all we do. We work in teams organized around
combating specific types of cancer, and patients have easy and direct access to the full range of specialists
they may need.
Our scientific research is focused on understanding the biology of cancer cells in order to develop more
effective therapies that improve patient outcomes. Our lab scientists and clinicians collaborate closely to
quickly translate findings from the lab into therapies that can be delivered to patients in our clinics.
Dana-Farber is a founding member of the Dana-Farber/Harvard Cancer Center (DF/HCC), a NCIdesignated Comprehensive Cancer Center. DF/HCC harnesses the expertise and resources of DanaFarber and six other Harvard-affiliated hospitals and research institutions to conduct research focused on
improving the understanding and treatment of cancer. Dana-Farber is also a founding member of the
National Comprehensive Cancer Network, an alliance of the world’s leading cancer centers, working
together to develop cancer treatment guidelines and research that improves the quality and effectiveness
of cancer care. In addition, Dana-Farber has earned “Magnet” status, recognizing the Institute’s highquality patient care, nursing excellence, and innovations in professional nursing practice.

Breast Oncology
The Breast Oncology Program at the Susan F. Smith Center for Women’s Cancers at Dana-Farber provides comprehensive care for women with all
types of breast cancer, including ductal carcinoma in situ, infiltrating (invasive) ductal carcinoma, lobular carcinoma in situ, infiltrating (invasive)
lobular carcinoma, inflammatory breast cancer, Paget’s disease, and phylloides tumor. We offer specialized expertise for patients with metastatic
breast cancer or breast cancer during pregnancy, as well as an Inflammatory Breast Cancer Program, and the Program for Young Women with Breast
Cancer which addresses the unique needs of women under 40 who are diagnosed with breast cancer. Experts in the Cancer Genetics and Prevention
Program can also create a personalized plan for women at higher risk for developing breast or ovarian cancer.
Patients receive care from a multidisciplinary team of health care professionals with extensive experience and expertise in the unique needs of
women with breast cancer. This includes medical, surgical, and radiation oncologists specializing in breast cancer, as well as radiologists,
pathologists, reproductive medicine specialists, plastic surgeons, oncology nurses, genetic counselors, and more.
Clinical research is a vital aspect of our mission at the Breast Oncology Program. We believe that outstanding clinical care is directly linked to an
active program of clinical research. Physician-researchers take the questions that arise from their experiences in the clinic, answer them through
clinical trials, and take this new knowledge back to the clinic, where it can benefit patients.
At any given time, dozens of research studies involving hundreds of patients are under way within the Breast Oncology Program. These studies are
broad in scope: investigations of prevention and early-detection strategies, new therapies, novel combinations of existing treatments, quality-of-life
studies, and laboratory analyses of tumor samples to better understand the relationship between tumor types and patient outcomes.
Our team is also leading the way in treating breast cancer as a complex family of diseases rather than a single disease. All tumors are assessed for
molecular markers that guide therapy and help determine eligibility for clinical trials exploring innovative new therapies.
