Research

    Health and treatment outcomes of older patients with gastrointestinal cancer
    Prognostic/Predictive factors of survival for older patients with gastrointestinal cancer

    Dr. McCleary’s overall career objective is to apply emerging scientific knowledge about cancer biology, epidemiology, geriatrics and pharmacology to treatment decisions that clinicians face every day. Her focus is on treatment decision making in the geriatric population where knowledge of tumor biology, drug efficacy, and host specific factors such as comorbidity, must be synthesized to facilitate informed choices. Her research objective is to develop an age-specific prognostic model for older adults with colorectal cancer. As a faculty member of Gastrointestinal Cancer Center at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, she divides her time between patient care and clinical investigation in geriatric oncology.
