The Dubin Breast Center of The Tisch Cancer Institute at the Mount Sinai Health System celebrated its 12th anniversary with its annual gala on Monday, December 12. The gala was held at the Ziegfeld Ballroom with cocktails, dinner, and a program honoring the Dubin Breast Center.
During the event, Mary Joe Fernández, an Olympic gold medalist, Grand Slam tennis champion, and breast cancer survivor, and Hanna Yoko Irie, MD, PhD, Associate Professor of Medicine (Hematology and Medical Oncology), and Oncological Sciences, at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, were honored. A total of $3 million was raised for the Dubin Breast Center.
The evening highlighted the Center's key accomplishments, milestones, and triumphs over the past year, which included treating 343,000 patients, conducting groundbreaking clinical trials, and offering personalized services such as yoga classes and therapy. The Dubin Breast Center is part of The Tisch Cancer Institute, a National Cancer Institute-designated cancer center.
