each stage of their cancer care.
Clinical Interests
Research/Academic Interests
Dr. Rodler is a clinician investigator in both breast cancer and sarcoma.
Dr. Rodler’s research interests are in triple negative breast cancer treatment. She specializes in
breast cancer clinical care and research. Her area of research interest in is hormone receptor
negative, HER2/neu negative breast cancer ("Triple negative breast cancer").
She is the principal investigator for a phase I clinical trial in patients with metastatic triple negative
breast cancer which is exploring the efficacy of using a chemotherapy drug combination that causes
DNA damage, and a new drug called a “PARP inhibitor” which acts as a double hit to these tumor
cells. Poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibitors inhibit DNA repair in cancer cells that have
pre-existing DNA repair defects, but not normal cells.
