Dr. Ilana Cass graduated from Icahn School of Medicine/Mount Sinai and completed her residency in obstetrics and gynecology at Yale New Haven Hospital School of Medicine and her fellowship in gynecologic oncology at Albert Einstein College of Medicine. Her research is focused on hereditary gynecologic cancer syndromes and the identification of their phenotypic characteristics. The goal of this work has been to optimize the treatment of women with genetic mutation associated gynecologic cancers and to identify early, precursor lesions in these high-risk women that may lead to improved detection.  She was chosen to be an ELAM scholar and has worked to cultivate women’s leadership within her institution and among women in Obstetrics and Gynecology. Dr. Cass has a Master’s in Health Care Delivery Science from Tuck School of Business which she pursued to study how health care systems can improve health care resources and dissemination to telemedicine and address the social determinants of health that impact the rural, underserved women in Northern New England. 

Dr. Cass has over 100 publications and has received grant funding from the American Cancer Society, The Foundation for Women’s Cancers, and the Ovarian Cancer Coalition of Greater California.  Dr Cass has been active in numerous societies and Boards including the NCI Physician Desk Query Hereditary Breast and Ovarian Cancer Working Group, Contemporary Obstetrics and Gynecology, the Society of Gynecologic Oncology and the Council of University Chairs of Obstetrics and Gynecology.
