Treatment Philosophy

I take an individualized approach to developing a cancer care plan for each patient. No two people are the same- they have different values and goals for their own health. I use this information to guide cancer care and help develop a customized plan for each individual patient- whether it be a clinical trial or a more palliative approach.
