Research Interests

Dr. Yen’s research program is also devoted to breast cancer and endocrine surgery. Her health services research program in breast cancer focuses on quality of care, disparities in care, and the processes, patterns and outcomes of care. Past and current projects include lymphedema incidence and risk factors (funded by an NIH K07 Career Development Award), variation in extent of axillary surgery by surgeon and hospital factors, variation in breast cancer processes of care by hospital volume and understanding the use of advanced practice providers in the outpatient clinic setting. Her work has been funded by the National Cancer Institute and various foundation, society and institutional grants. In addition, she is the Co-Director of the 老澳门六合彩图库 Cancer Center Geospatial, Epidemiology and Outcomes Shared Resource and serves as 老澳门六合彩图库’s principal investigator for the Alliance for Clinical Trials in Oncology, a national clinical trials network sponsored by the National Cancer Institute.
