Dr. Falkson's research is focused on developing innovative treatments for patients with breast cancer. For the past three decades, she has been actively involved in the development and planning of clinical trials using new agents, including genomic and other translational approaches such as circulating tumor DNA, to improve the selection of patients for specific treatments and thus improving the outcome for patients. As a seasoned investigator, she has led the Eastern Co-operative Group Research at her previous two institutions and now continues this legacy of excellence at the University of Rochester Medical Center.
Dr. Falkson's philosophy is to understand the patient and his or her disease. She believes it is important to listen to a patient and hear their needs especially since their cancers, despite similarities, are all unique and need different approaches for treatment. She has a special interest in treating HER2 amplified (over-expressed), hormone receptor-positive breast cancer, and treatment modalities for optimal bone health in breast cancer patients. Dr. Falkson delivers the best care, which often entails cutting-edge therapies and clinical trials. She is passionate about helping current and future generations of patients with cancer.

Dr. Falkson is a phenomenal provider. I trust her implicitly. She always listens to my concerns, and she always answers my questions thoroughly. I highly recommend her. This region is so lucky to have her.

Dr. Falkson was very thorough with explaining to me stages of my cancer and options of care. She was very accommodating with providing me an exam room that I would be comfortable in.
Jan 27, 2024
My experiences with Dr. Falkson have been and continue to be the best I could ever imagine. She's been the pillar of support for me and I couldn't imagine a better caregiver than her. She's given me so much strength and medical help after my stage 4 cancer diagnosis 3 years ago. Her knowledge, concern and demeanor as a physician are unrivaled. I am so happy and blessed she was the oncologist who I received to help me on this journey.

Dr. Falkson and her team have always taken the time to explain my health issues and options along with the risks and benefits. They have included me in the decision making to the extent possible and always make certain that I both understand and agree with my plan of care. I am so fortunate to have such a wonderful care team.
