Breast Surgical Oncology Fellow
Yale University
Ellie Proussaloglou, MD is the Breast Surgical Oncology fellow at Yale University, where she cares for patients with breast cancer, with a particular interest in young patients with breast cancer and those with high-risk genetic mutations.
Ellie earned her Bachelor of Science from Duke University in Biology (Genomics), where she developed a passion for understanding the policy and financial implications of healthcare. She explored this interest further as a healthcare consultant for two years before attending medical school at the University of Chicago Pritzker School of Medicine. She then completed her Residency in Obstetrics and Gynecology at Brown University/Women & Infants Hospital of RI. Her joint training in breast and gynecologic surgery allows her to provide comprehensive counseling about breast cancer care to her patients, along with a thorough understanding of the gynecologic and sexual side effects of care. Her research focuses on decisions facing patients undergoing surgery or high-risk screening, with an emphasis on the financial side effects of care. She has led interdisciplinary research focused on survivorship, quality of life, and sexual health after cancer diagnosis, including novel research on financial toxicity in BRCA carriers and has local and national advocacy experience as the Legislative Chair for District 1 (New England) of the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists.
