About Our Presenter

Dr. Mia Weiss
Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis

Mia C. Weiss, M.D. is a medical oncologist with clinical interest in the care of patients with localized and metastatic soft tissue and bone sarcomas. She works collaboratively with pathologists, radiation oncologists, and orthopedic surgeons to assess, diagnose, and treat these complex malignancies. She is a member of the American College of Physicians, the American Society of Clinical Oncology, and the Connective Tissue Oncology Society. Her research interests include clinical trial development to assess efficacy of novel therapies in the treatment of metastatic sarcoma to ultimately improve patient survival and quality of life. She has particular interest related to genomics in sarcoma and finding ways to elucidate which patients are more likely to respond to targeted therapy and why some do not. Dr. Weiss has published several articles during her fellowship which most recently included a review on the use of Tazemetostat in epithelioid sarcoma, a novel epigenetic regulator and the first of its kind to be approved in a solid tumor. Additionally, Dr. Weiss has a strong interest in establishing a continuing medical educational program for community based primary care physicians and surgeons related to sarcoma and the importance of referring patients with soft tissue masses to an oncologic surgeon and ideally, a sarcoma center, to ensure optimal outcomes for patients. Dr. Weiss looks forward to continuing a career devoted to patient care, research, and education.
