Bio
Dr. Fayanju is an academic breast surgeon whose research and clinical practice is centered on providing compassionate, evidence-based, patient-centered, and equitable care to individuals with malignant and benign breast disease.
Dr. Fayanju and her colleagues have launched a clinical trial to test a comprehensive, tech-enabled platform for collecting social and behavioral determinants of health (SBDOH) data from individuals newly diagnosed with breast cancer across UPenn’s health system. The aim is to devise and optimize ways to address modifiable contributors to treatment delay and non-adherence. To accomplish this, SBDOH data from participants in the clinical trial can be used to assess and address what unmet social needs exist at the time of diagnosis and, in real-time, incorporate this information to guide patient care.
