With a diagnosis of cancer comes uncertainty and fear for many patients. As a medical oncologist, my first job is to help each patient understand his or her diagnosis. With that understanding, together we can design the best plan of action. At Fox Chase, each patient has the benefit of an interdisciplinary team working together to ensure the highest quality care. This interdisciplinary approach is crucial in determining and implementing the best treatment plan.
I specialize in the treatment of kidney, bladder, prostate and testicular cancer, and my clinical practice is focused on these diseases. By concentrating exclusively on genitourinary malignancies I am able to offer expert knowledge as well as access to both standard treatments and emerging therapies in the form of clinical trials. The pace of scientific discovery has accelerated in recent decades, and fortunately we have seen these discoveries translate into meaningful improvements in cancer treatments.
As part of the genitourinary group here at Fox Chase, I am proud to be a part of a team of distinguished researchers who have pioneered many of these new treatments. My particular research efforts focus on the development of new therapies for bladder and kidney cancer.

Patient comments
I feel like I am in good hands!
I have been treating with Elizabeth Plimack, MD for over 8 years now, and I could not be happier with my medical care from her & Fox Chase, but more importantly, with her as a caring human being over that 8 year relationship. My cancer is, and will be, ongoing into the future, and I only hope that she will be with me for the rest of my cancer journey.
I felt relaxed and understood.
I felt they cared about my questions, reviewed my current and past health, and made recommendations for my future care. I always feel a sense of security in the care and treatment and especially like Dr. Plimack who was warm, friendly, and very positive and knowledgeable. I'm blessed to be in their care.
Dr. Plimack is the best! A wonderful person and a great doctor. It is a blessing for me to have her as my oncologist.
