Overview

I am a medical oncologist, a physician providing medical treatments to cancer patients, drawn to this field by the profound relationships we foster with our patients and the dynamic scientific advancements. Building individual connections allows us to tailor care to our patients' unique needs and accompany them throughout their journey. Additionally, we contribute to pioneering new treatments, offering hope and reduced treatment-related toxicity with each passing day.

My clinical practice if focused on the care of patients with breast cancer, particularly those diagnosed at a younger age and those with recurrence in the central nervous system. I am committed to the care of patients with breast cancer brain metastases, and I am honored to serve as the Medical Director of the Brain and Spine Metastases Program in the Duke Cancer Center. In this role, our multidisciplinary team provides well-coordinated care for patients with breast cancer and other solid tumor types that have metastasized to the central nervous system. In addition, I enjoy helping young women diagnosed with breast cancer navigate their treatment decisions to ensure both excellent medical care and attention to individual challenges, such as future fertility, sequelae of treatment on longer-term health, and impact on current and future relationships. When not working, I enjoy running, reading, and traveling with my family. Dr. Anders is rated as an Elite provider by MediFind in the treatment of Breast Cancer. Her top areas of expertise are Breast Cancer, Brain Tumor, Triple-Negative Breast Cancer, and HER-2 Positive Breast Cancer.
