<p>Susan Fineberg, MD, is an Attending Pathologist, Section Head Breast Pathology and Associate Professor, Pathology at Montefiore Einstein. An integral member of the multidisciplinary breast program leadership team, Dr. Fineberg’s clinical focus is the study of tissue to diagnose breast disease, both neoplastic and benign.</p><p>After receiving her Bachelor of Arts in chemistry from State University of New York (SUNY) Binghamton in 1983, Dr. Fineberg pursued her medical degree at SUNY Stonybrook School of Medicine, earning her Doctor of Medicine in 1987. She completed her anatomic and clinical pathology residency training at New York University Medical Center in 1992, followed by an oncologic surgical pathology fellowship at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in 1993.</p><p>Dr. Fineberg's research focus includes biomarker development in invasive breast cancer, particularly in the neoadjuvant setting, prognostic and predictive markers for ductal carcinoma in situ progression and recurrence, the role of immune response in breast cancer progression, and standardization of practice among breast pathologists. She has over 60 peer-reviewed publications on breast disease, has authored book chapters on the subject and has presented her work at national meetings.</p><p>Dr. Fineberg is board certified and is an active member of many national and international pathology organizations including the United States and Canadian Academy of Pathology, the International Society of Breast Disease and the International TILs Immuno-Oncology Biomarker Working Group for Breast Cancer.</p>
