Dr. Alderman is currently collaborating with Drs. Steven Katz, Sarah Hawley and Edwin Wilkins from the University of Michigan to examine women's decision-making process for breast reconstruction after mastectomy. The goal of this study is to examine whether unmet need exists in the breast cancer population and determine how to improve the quality of reconstructive services provided to these women. Dr. Alderman is also collaborating with Dr. John Birkmeyer from the University of Michigan to examine epidemiological trends in the national use of breast reconstructive surgery. Their recent article in the Journal of the American Medical Association revealed disparities in the use of breast cancer reconstruction by women's race and geographical treatment location.
