About Dr. Balraj Singh
The goal of our studies is to improve outcomes in the clinic. I work closely with Anthony Lucci, M.D., a breast surgical oncologist, who is developing innovative approaches to improve outcomes. Dr. Lucci is Deputy Director of the Morgan Welch Inflammatory Breast Cancer Program and Clinic at MD Anderson Cancer Center. He has also established a strong research program in melanoma. Our laboratory-based research supports and complements patients-oriented research. Inflammatory breast cancer (IBC) accounts for only 2% to 6% of all cases of breast cancers, but it is a highly aggressive disease with a poor prognosis (5 year survival rate of 40%). IBC is characterized by rapid disease progression and early distant metastatic disease progression. There has been little change in overall survival rates in the last 30 years and there are no therapeutic regimens developed specifically for IBC. Inflammatory breast cancers can be classified into estrogen receptor-positive, HER2-positive, and triple-negative subtypes similar to non-IBC breast cancers, although they are overrepresented in the more aggressive subtypes. Our goal is to improve survival of breast cancer and melanoma patients. In this regard, there is a pressing need for simple and reliable models for testing potential therapeutic drugs that accurately predict how drugs will act in cancer patients. This task is difficult because of constantly evolving nature of cancer, its genomic instability, and tumor heterogeneity. Our cell-based model that involves function-based selection of rare but adaptable cells that drive cancer, and testing therapies in long-term assays, will make the test results more predictive and have a major impact on drug development and cancer care in near future.
