PHILADELPHIA (September 6, 2023) — Fox Chase Cancer Center is pleased to announce the hiring of Dina Ioffe, MD, as an assistant professor in the Department of Hematology/Oncology.
Ioffe received her bachelor’s degree from Washington University in Saint Louis and her medical degree from the University of Maryland School of Medicine.
She completed her internal medicine residency at the University of Maryland Medical Center, where she also served as an assistant instructor in the Department of Medicine. Ioffe did her hematology/oncology fellowship at Fox Chase and was chief fellow in her senior year.
Ioffe will be seeing patients with gastrointestinal malignancies at both Fox Chase and Temple University Hospital. Her research focuses on the management of patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).
As a fellow, she was supported by a Fox Chase Cancer Center Young Investigator Award to investigate disparities in patterns of systemic care in patients with HCC using a large real-world database from Flatiron Health. The results were presented at the American Society of Clinical Oncology’s 2023 Gastrointestinal Cancers Symposium.
She is currently leading a multicenter clinical trial examining the effectiveness of multimodal therapy in a diverse patient population with advanced, unresectable HCC, with the ultimate goal of determining the best management of historically underrepresented patients.
In addition, she will also be working on a pilot translational research project exploring biomarkers of aging in vulnerable older patients with metastatic pancreatic cancer.
Ioffe began her tenure at Fox Chase on September 1.
