Additional Information:

Education: Dr. Beatty received biological, medical and surgical training at the University of Toronto complemented by postgraduate training in research and oncology in Canada (Princess Margaret Hospital, Toronto; Manitoba Cancer Treatment and Research Foundation, University of Manitoba, Winnipeg), the United Kingdom (Middlesex Hospital Medical School, London) and the United States (Medical College of Virginia, Richmond, VA).

Background: Since 1978, Dr. Beatty’s clinical activities have focused on cancer care, research and education. He has held academic and administrative appointments at a number of universities (Manitoba, California, Toronto, Vermont) and has been the principal investigator for a number of translational research grants from the National Cancer Institute. At the City of Hope National Cancer Center, he established and led the surgical oncology training program. Administrative positions have included Executive Director of the National Cancer Institute of Canada (1991-1996) where he over-saw the peer review system for distribution of research funds, was instrumental in the establishment of the Canadian Breast Cancer Research Initiative and the Center for Behavioral Research and Program Evaluation, and contributed to the establishment of the Canadian Genome Analysis and Technology Program. In 2004, he joined the Swedish Cancer Institute in a leadership capacity.

Special Interests: Over the past 15 years, Dr. Beatty’s practice and academic activities have been focused on breast cancer. His clinical practice emphasizes management of patients with complex breast care and breast cancer problems. His surgical expertise includes breast biopsy, minimally invasive technology, ultrasound guided procedures, sentinel node localization and biopsy, breast conserving surgery, oncoplastic surgery, axillary preserving surgery, image guided surgery, balloon catheter placement for partial breast irradiation, bloodless surgery, and integration of surgery and multidisciplinary care. He leads and participates in a variety of innovative pilot and collaborative research trials focused on developing new technology, translating new technology into optimal clinical practice and standardizing breast cancer quality of care evaluation. He is actively involved in the general surgery residency training program at Swedish Medical Center and is a Joint Full Member of the Public Health Sciences Division at Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center in Seattle.

Philosophy of Care: Dr. Beatty believes in excellent care for all patients, patient participation in individualized decision-making, compassion and commitment.

Dr. Beatty has a longstanding record of translational and clinical research, and research administration. He maintains a clinical surgical practice in breast cancer and leads the clinical research activities in breast cancer at the SCI. These studies have included assessment of imaging techniques, surgical care and multidiciplinary care of breast cancer. Completed studies include breast imaging by magnetic resonance (MRI) and positron emission mammography (PEM), metaplastic breast cancer, micro and macrometastasis in sentinel nodes, neoadjuvant chemotherapy, post-mastectomy irradiation, and quality assessment of breast cancer care.

He has also taken the principal responsibility in breast cancer for the interface between the SCI and the fundamental research activities in breast cancer by Dr. Nicole Urban’s group at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer research Center. He has been involved in research subject recruitment, study design, interpretation of results and reports. These studies have reported a 50-gene observation that some normal breast tissue has a profile similar to a selected population of breast cancer tissue. Current studies are exploring the potential to identify breast cancer patients with increased risk of subsequent 2nd breast cancer based upon the gene profile of their normal or atypical breast tissue which in turn could have an impact upon subsequent clinical decision-making. The group is also exploring the relationship significance of erythropoietin receptors in breast cancer patients who have received adjuvant chemotherapy follow breast surgery.
