The Clinical Research Coordinator will support the Breast Oncology Center's Inflammatory Breast Cancer (IBC) Studies Program and its research in the areas of screening, recruitment, data collection, assurance of high-quality data, biospecimen collection and database organization. This position will report directly to the Medical Director, Inflammatory Breast Center. Duties include the examination, synthesis, and evaluation of medical records for screening and tracking of patients for banking and therapeutic studies and the collection of biospecimens, including archival tissue and serial blood samples with direction and guidance from the Medical Director of IBC, and the Director, Associate Director, and Clinical Research Manager of the overall Cohort Studies Program. This position will screen patients for protocol eligibility, obtain informed consent, and register study participants to IBC related cohort and banking studies.
The Dana-Farber Inflammatory Breast Cancer Program has been in existence since 2010 and has successfully developed and maintained three IRB approved retrospective clinical registries to facilitate the investigation of IBC that house more than 600 patients. Since its inception, the DFCI Inflammatory Breast Cancer Program has utilized the information obtained from these active databases and biobank to investigate various questions including: the impact of locoregional treatment in metastatic IBC, incidence of CNS metastasis in IBC, prevalence of pathogenic germline variants in IBC, the impact of pathologic complete response to preoperative systemic therapy among all subtypes of IBC, and the metabolic characterization of IBC using PET-imaging. In addition, these registries have provided extensive information concerning the biology and epidemiology of IBC, allowing for investigation and presentation at national and international scientific meetings.
