Alice Y. Ho MD, MBA

Ho is a radiation oncologist with a clinical practice dedicated solely to the care of breast cancer patients. Her research is focused on radiation techniques that minimize adverse side effects from radiation and improve the quality of life in breast cancer patients who undergo reconstructive surgery. She also is developing novel radiation-and-drug treatments for women with triple-negative breast cancer and clinical trials for women with positive lymph nodes who undergo a mastectomy. She has published more than 50 peer-reviewed articles, reviews, commentaries, book chapters, and books on breast cancer.

"We're pioneering studies in breast cancer at Cedars-Sinai. We want to use combinations of cryoablation, chemotherapy, immune therapy and radiation to see if the results are better than using any single agent alone," Ho said. "Women will be able to take advantage of helpful programs, depending on their type of breast cancer."
