Silvia Formenti, M.D.
Dr. Formenti is a medical and radiation oncologist who has pioneered external beam hypo-fractionated radiotherapy both with a partial breast radiation approach and with accelerated intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) directed to the entire breast. A prolific researcher, Dr. Formenti is currently principal investigator on multiple grants with more than $8 million in total funding, including a U.S. Department of Defense grant to establish multi-nation Centers of Excellence to study Locally Advanced Breast Cancer (LABC). In addition to her role as Chairman of the NYU Department of Radiation Oncology, Dr. Formenti leads the Breast Cancer Research Program of the NYU Cancer Institute, and is co-leader of the Academic Excellence Commission of NYU School of Medicine.
