Care Philosophy: For over a decade I have been taking care of people with lymphoma. At the end of every visit, I want people to know that I have taken the time to develop the plan that is the best for them. I am fortunate to work in a center where cancer care specialists can work along side experts in every field of medicine to care for the whole person. We are working every day to develop better treatments and integrate them into clinical practice. We have been involved in the development of virtually every drug approved for treatment of lymphoma over the past 15 years, including targeted therapies and immunotherapy. In our labs and our clinics we are developing the drugs of the future. We have made a lot of progress in the way lymphoma is diagnosed and treated, and I am determined to continue developing more effective, less toxic therapies.
