Biography
Dr. Ewing completed her residency at Saint Joseph Hospital (Univ. of Michigan Affiliate) and her surgical oncology fellowship at the University of Chicago. After her fellowship, she joined the faculty at the University of Chicago as an Assistant Professor of Surgery. She became a member of the Comprehensive Breast Program, where she was eventually appointed as Director. She has written a number of articles and a book chapter on breast disease and treatment. Dr. Ewing was the Principal Investigator at the University of Chicago for the NCI-sponsored Breast Cancer Prevention Trial (P1), and she has participated in basic science research evaluating the relationship of oncogenes in colon cancer. Dr. Ewing then moved to Santa Fe, N.M. to join a private practice group. Continuing her interest in breast diseases, she was particularly active in promoting standards of excellence for breast cancer surgery and for volunteer service. Her wide experience in breast surgery includes skin-sparing mastectomy and sentinel lymph node biopsy for breast cancer and melanoma. Feeling eager to return to an academic environment, she was happy to respond to our recruitment and join the Breast Care Center. Among her strong clinical interests are breast cancer risk, prevention, and early detection. She is also interested in establishing a lymphedema program at the Cancer Center for the treatment of cancer-related, secondary lymphedema and to investigate the many unanswered questions related to lympedema. In her spare time, Dr. Cheryl Ewing enjoys riding horses (Hunter and Western Style), and she has a passion for hiking and alpine skiing.
