Thaer Khoury, MD, FCAP, has been promoted to chief of breast pathology within the department of pathology and laboratory medicine at Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center.
Khoury — also a professor of oncology at Roswell Park — has been on the institution’s staff since 2006, supporting the work of the center’s clinical, epidemiology and basic science teams.
In his new role, Khoury will oversee second-opinion pathology reviews. He also will lead a subspecialized team that will provide operating-room consultations in real time. This structure is designed to streamline communication between medical staff, resulting in shorter procedure times and fewer biopsies.
“Dr. Khoury is in demand for his clinical knowledge and guidance,” Charles LeVea, MD, PhD, chair of the department of pathology and laboratory medicine, said in a press release. “We are excited to see him in this critical position, leading a growing, interactive area of the center that plays such an influential role in patient care and outcomes.”
