About me
Katia Khoury, MD, is a medical oncologist specializing in breast cancer at MedStar Georgetown University Hospital. She is triple board-certified in internal medicine, medical oncology, and hematology.
Dr. Khoury specializes in diagnosing, treating, and preventing breast cancer. Her treatment approach emphasizes the use of systemic therapies, including targeted therapies, endocrine therapies, immunotherapies, and chemotherapies. She collaborates with a multidisciplinary team of healthcare professionals to develop personalized plans for patient care at every stage of breast cancer.
She is active in translational and clinical research on breast cancer clinical trials and has served as the principal investigator of a variety of clinical trials in the early and advanced stages of breast cancer. She is also dedicated to ensuring equal access to care and addressing health disparities affecting minority groups.
Dr. Khoury obtained her medical degree and completed a postdoctoral research fellowship at the American University of Beirut. She completed her residency at Case Western University/ University Hospitals Cleveland Medical Center, and her fellowship training at MedStar Georgetown University Hospital. She then joined the faculty in the Department of Medicine and Hematology/ Oncology at the University of Alabama at Birmingham. She later returned to join the faculty at MedStar Georgetown University Hospital.
Throughout her career, Dr. Khoury has been recognized for her excellence as a clinician, researcher, and educator. She has received the Charles C.J.

Dr. Khoury also speaks French and Arabic.
Philosophy of Care
“I strive to ensure that every patient has access to quality healthcare and innovative clinical trials. I want my patients to know I am on their team and here to help. To ensure this, I work with a multi-disciplinary team of dedicated surgeons, radiation oncologists, breast radiologists, pathologists, nurses, navigators, coordinators, and social workers. When developing a treatment plan, I focus on the whole person in front of me, rather than just their disease, and a big priority is maintaining quality of life as we navigate their cancer journey.”
