“Pleased to announce the appointment of Dr. Megan Kruse as the Director of Breast Medical Oncology and Co-Leader of the Breast Cancer Program at Cleveland Clinic.
Dr. Kruse received her MD from Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine and completed her residency in Internal Medicine at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. She subsequently completed her Hematology and Medical Oncology fellowship at Cleveland Clinic, where she served as Chief Fellow, and she joined the medical staff in 2017.
Dr. Kruse has held several key leadership roles within our institution, including Associate Program Director of the Hematology/Oncology Fellowship Program from 2020 to 2024 and Director of Breast Cancer Clinical Research beginning in 2024. In July 2025, she was promoted to Medical Director of the Taussig Cancer Center Clinical Trials Office.
Her primary area of clinical and translational investigation is the optimization of care for patients with lobular breast cancer.
