About Dr. Brewster
Dr. Abenaa Brewster is a tenured Professor in the Department of Clinical Cancer Prevention at MD Anderson Cancer Center and has an adjunct appointment in the Department of Epidemiology. She is a medical oncologist, Director of the MD Anderson Nellie B. Connally Breast Center, and her clinical interest is the management of breast cancer. Her research team has developed a framework for investigating the decision-making process that women undergo in considering contralateral prophylactic mastectomy. Her research expertise involves using the tools of molecular epidemiology to investigate clinical, epidemiological and biological factors that determine breast cancer risk and survival. She is particularly interested in understanding how tumor genomics, host genetic susceptibility, ethnicity, and obesity influence a woman's risk and survival after a diagnosis of breast cancer. She has experience in the conduct and data management of hospital, population-based cohort studies, and is the principal investigator and director of a longitudinal cohort study of women at high risk of developing breast cancer. Dr. Brewster is a Komen Scholar, an award given to individuals for their knowledge and leadership within the scientific, research and advocacy communities and for their own contribution to breast cancer research.
