Biography
Dr. Jay Andersen was published in The New England Journal of Medicine as National Principal Investigator for the clinical trial “Event-free Survival with Pembrolizumab in Early Triple-Negative Breast Cancer.”
Compass, an affiliate of the US Oncology Network, accrued approximately 10% of the patients to this international trial (120 out of 1174), which was one of the highest if not the highest accruing entity.
“Results changed standard of care for early-stage triple negative breast cancer, and are now in NCCN/US Oncology Guidelines.”
“Kudos to our practice and network for our collaborative participation! As a member of the Sarah Cannon Research Institute (SCRI), Breast Cancer Research Executive Committee, it truly is exciting to experience the spectrum of trial initiation, enrollment, results, publication, change/improve the standard of care. Science matters.”
Dr. Andersen is a medical oncologist and Co-Director of Compass Breast Specialists. He is also a member of the Sarah Cannon Research Institute (SCRI), Breast Cancer Research Executive Committee. He has advanced subspecialty expertise in breast cancer. Because he believes better outcomes are achieved when patients understand and embrace their care, his practice philosophy is education-based and very collaborative. During consultation, he explains his patients’ diagnosis, their disease stage, standard of care based on up to date data and guidelines, and whether special circumstances exist to deviate from the standard of care. His patients love the handouts and diagrams he provides and often comment on his ability to present complex issues in an understandable way.
In his spare time, Dr. Andersen has a busy family life. He enjoys his daily trip to the gym, skiing and travel.
