Assistant Professor, Surgical Oncology, Fox Chase Cancer Center
Breast Cancer
Breast cancer care is constantly evolving and advancing, and I feel fortunate that my surgical practice can be focused exclusively on patients with breast cancer, those at high risk for it, and those with complex benign breast conditions. Use of a multidisciplinary approach, opportunities for clinical trials, and distribution of quality information to patients are opportunities that I strongly value when providing care to patients.
My philosophy is that offering patients a strong physician-patient relationship built on trust, collaboration, and kindness, as well as valuing the “whole patient” are also strong tenants of cancer care. I believe in providing patients with knowledge and conversation in order to help them make the best treatment decisions for themselves. Fox Chase Cancer Center provides high quality care and extensive resources to patients, and I feel honored to be a part of such an excellent team and institution that believes so strongly in compassionate and thoughtful care.

Patient comments
Dr. Aggon is not just an excellent doctor, she is a good human being.
I feel fortunate to have Dr Aagon and her team on my side.
Dr. Aggon is absolutely the best in every way. I can't say enough great things about her. Same with [...], the nurse practitioner. Both are so wise and compassionate, and they definitely view me as a person, not a medical problem. [...] at the front desk is also wonderful. So is the woman who makes the appointments and handles related needs ... For some reason I suddenly can't remember her name even though I know it perfectly well. Deep thanks and appreciation to all of them.
I excellent facility our recommended to any patient dealing with cancer. This would be my first choice.
Highly recommend Dr Aggon to anyone diagnosed with breast cancer...she's excellent and very caring.
