Massimo is an internationally recognized authority on the pathobiology and treatment of a highly aggressive form of cancer: inflammatory breast carcinoma.  His pioneering work in the prognostic and predictive value of circulating tumor cells has resulted in a more biologically based approach to metastatic disease.  He is the ideal clinician scientist to lead the multidisciplinary program in breast cancer research and to motivate and mentor young academic clinicians."

G. Morris Dorrance Jr. Chair
in Medical Oncology

Established in 2002, the G. Morris Dorrance Jr. Chair honors Fox Chase's late, esteemed Board Chairman Emeritus who, with a legacy of support and leadership spanning more than 50 years, stood as the institution's most stalwart and dedicated champion. From one of Philadelphia's most philanthropic families, Dorrance was the founding chairman of the Fox Chase Cancer Center Board of Directors, serving in that role from 1974 to 1996. This chair supports an outstanding leader with a unique vision who exemplifies the values embodied by its namesake.

Massimo Cristofanilli, MD, FACP

Director, Inflammatory Breast Cancer Clinic
Chairman
Co-Leader of the

Dr. Cristofanilli is a productive translational and clinical researcher with research interests in targeted therapeutics, molecular imaging, stem cell research, and strategies for managing women with inflammatory breast cancer. Dr. Cristofanilli has the leadership role for the breast cancer service line and in that position works with Dr. Robert Burger and the entire breast cancer team under the umbrella of Fox Chase's newly opened Women's Cancer Center.
