Steve C.

I am a medical oncologist and translational investigator with a focus on breast cancer. I am at BIDMC and Dana-Farber and am an Assoc Prof of Medicine at HMS. I was an undergraduate at Cornell and a medical student at HMS. Thereafter, I was a PGY 1-2 at Beth Israel. I then spent 2+ years at the National Cancer Institute at NIH before returning to HMS as Chief Medical Resident. After that year, I joined the faculty at BI and Dana-Farber.

My current focus is on how initially susceptible tumors escape from anti-estrogen therapy. In pursuit of this, I see breast cancer patients in the clinic and am involved in a variety of clinical and translational trials.

Since I am old and have been at one place for a long time, I have also worn many other hats, including running the internal medicine training program for our house staff for 10 years, directing the Cancer Clinical Trials office, and previously leading the breast medical oncology program at the BIDMC.

I have been associated with Kirkland House as a non-resident tutor since the early 1990s, and when not working, I am usually in Marblehead sailing.
