Anne Moore is considered one of the leading breast cancer oncologists in the country. Over the past two decades, her clinical skills coupled with her support of and interest in research have helped to change the face of breast cancer study. Her monograph, “Patient’s Guide to Breast Cancer Treatment” was one of the first to explain the complexities of breast cancer to the newly diagnosed patient. She is a past-president of the New York Metropolitan Breast Cancer Group and a former trustee of the The New York Academy of Medicine. She has contributed chapters to several books and has published articles in numerous peer-reviewed journals. |
Currently, Anne is a Professor of Clinical Medicine and Medical Director of the Breast Oncology Program at Weill Cornell Medical Center and an attending physician at New York Presbyterian Hospital. She served as a director of the American Board of Internal Medicine, and she chaired the ABIM Subcommittee on Hematology from 1996 to 2000, helping to shape the standards for education and certification of internists and specialists across the United States. She continued this interest with the American Society of Clinical Oncology as chair of the first committee for Lifelong Learning and as editor in chief of ASCO-SEP, a self evaluation program for oncologists.
Anne received medical training at Columbia College of Physicians and Surgeons and the New York Hospital medical residency and hematology-oncology fellowship programs. During her residency, she worked at the Memorial Hospital-Sloan Kettering Cancer Center and the Rockefeller University where she became interested in the new and evolving field of breast cancer oncology.Moore’s patients care so much for her that when they heard that she wanted to start a fund to support breast cancer research, they organized a concert at Carnegie Hall in her honor to raise money. The result was the creation of the Anne Moore Breast Cancer Research Fund, which envisions a future without breast cancer.
In 2007, Anne and her husband Arnold Lisio, MD, received the HealthCare Chaplaincy Lifetime Achievement Award. At the Weill Cornell Breast Center, she continues her long time interest in every aspect of breast cancer from basic research to risk factors, diagnosis and treatment of the disease. Most recently, she is focusing on “survivorship” to study the issues facing women after a diagnosis of breast cancer; she is also a board member of the New York Community Trust. Anne and Arnold live in New York City and their two children, Philip and Mary, live in Beijing and Los Angeles, respectively.
