Research
Dr. Crew’s research involves the development of early phase clinical trials for evaluating chemopreventive agents for breast cancer. These studies implement intermediate markers for breast cancer risk, such as mammographic density, tissue- and serum-based biomarkers. In a presurgical study design, women with newly diagnosed breast cancer are given a short-term drug administration during the interval between breast biopsy and surgical resection to test the biologic activity of the drug in breast tumor tissue. In the phase I/II setting, clinical trials are underway to study high-dose vitamin D and a green tea extract, Polyphenon E, in high-risk women.
