Dr. Eileen O'Reilly
Dr. Eileen O'Reilly is a member of the
Gastrointestinal Oncology service at Memorial Sloan-Kettering
Cancer Center (MSKCC) in New York and an Assistant Professor
of Medicine at Cornell University Medical College.
After receiving her medical degree from
Trinity College (Dublin University) in Ireland, Dr. O'Reilly
took oncology fellowship training at Memorial Sloan-Kettering
Cancer Center and joined the Faculty in 1997.
Dr. O'Reilly has a strong research and
clinical interest in pancreatic cancer and hepatobiliary malignancies,
and co-ordinates the pancreatic clinical trials at MSKCC.
She is involved in developing innovative
therapeutics for these diseases in the phase I and phase II settings
and in looking toward novel approaches to radiosensitization.
She also has a major interest in vaccine immunotherapy for pancreatic
cancer; a current adjuvant vaccine targets K-ras gene mutations
which are almost ubiquitous in pancreatic adenocarcinoma.
In addition, Dr. O'Reilly has a full teaching
commitment at MSKCC and lectures extensively outside the institution
on cancer of the pancreas. She is a member of multiple major
oncologic organizations in the US and Europe.
