Dr. Ipshita Prakash is an assistant professor of surgery and oncology at McGill University and a breast surgical oncologist at the JGH Segal Cancer Centre in Montreal, Canada. She received her medical degree and completed general surgery residency at McGill University, her MSc in Healthcare Policy & Financing at the London School of Economics/London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine, and in 2020, completed a breast surgical oncology fellowship at Duke University Medical Center.

Her clinical and research interests focus on health services research, specifically breast cancer financial toxicity and disparities, as well as access to specialized care. She directs the McGill Breast Cancer Outcomes Group and is a founding member of the McGill Global Oncology Program. She is also part of the World Health Organization’s Global Breast Cancer Initiative to reduce global breast cancer mortality.

Dr. Ipshita Prakash’s research activities center around studying and improving cancer outcomes in people with breast cancer. She has a particular interest in the intersectionality of breast cancer care and social determinants of health.

Specific areas of research include:

  • Exploring surgical decision-making and outcomes in people with early-stage breast cancer.
  • Examining the impact of breast cancer diagnosis on financial health and vice versa in the Canadian healthcare system.
  • Identifying and mitigating disparities in breast cancer care in Canada.
