Dr. Katherine Crew is an Assistant Professor of Medicine and Epidemiology at the New York-Presbyterian/Columbia University Medical Center. Dr. Crew cares for patients with breast cancer and women at high-risk for breast cancer.
Dr. Crew received her MD from Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons and her M.S. from Columbia University School of Public Health. She completed her Internal Medicine residency and Medical Oncology fellowship at New York-Presbyterian/Columbia University Medical Center. Dr. Crew is currently involved in patient care, clinical research, and teaching on the Breast Oncology service.
Dr. Crew's research involves the development of early phase clinical trials for evaluating chemopreventive agents for breast cancer. These studies implement intermediate markers for breast cancer risk, such as mammographic density, tissue- and serum-based biomarkers. Dr. Crew also participates in multicenter breast cancer chemoprevention trials through the Phase I/II Chemoprevention Trials Consortium and the Southwest Oncology Group (SWOG) as a member of the Prevention and Breast Committees. The overall goal of this research is to build a comprehensive, interdisciplinary breast cancer prevention program, which will offer preventive strategies to breast cancer patients and healthy, high-risk women.
