Geriatrician, Assistant Professor
VA Boston Healthcare System and Brigham and Women's Hospital/Harvard Medical School, Massachusetts, United States
Dr. DuMontier is a geriatrician and clinical investigator at U.S. Veterans Affairs Boston Healthcare System and Brigham and Women's Hospital, and is affiliated faculty in the Division of Population Sciences at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute. He is Assistant Professor of Medicine at Harvard Medical School. His research focuses on integrating geriatric measures into oncology to improve the care of older adults with cancer. Specifically, he is interested in how frailty and multimorbidity interact with cancer and its treatment, as well as how this interaction impacts function and other outcomes important in older adults. His research serves to fill a gap related to the lack of older adults and measurement of relevant endpoints in trials investigating novel cancer therapies. Ultimately, he aims to minimize undertreatment and overtreatment in older adults with cancer and to optimize outcomes with whatever treatment is chosen.
