🧪Research Fields 研究领域
🎓Key Contributions 主要贡献
Inflammatory Breast Cancer Treatment
Established multimodality treatment protocols for inflammatory breast cancer integrating systemic therapy, surgery, and comprehensive regional radiotherapy, improving survival in this aggressive disease.
Breast Cancer Stem Cells and Radiation Resistance
Demonstrated that breast cancer stem cells are relatively radioresistant and identified molecular pathways mediating this resistance, informing strategies to improve radiotherapy efficacy.
Representative Works 代表性著作
Locoregional disease recurrence after mastectomy in inflammatory breast cancer
Cancer (2006)
Defined patterns of locoregional recurrence after mastectomy in inflammatory breast cancer, guiding post-mastectomy radiotherapy field design.
The radiation resistance of human breast cancer stem cells
Stem Cells (2007)
Provided foundational evidence that breast cancer stem cells survive radiotherapy preferentially, driving recurrence and identifying targets for radiosensitization.
