Biography
I feel that it is of utmost importance to develop a personalized treatment plan for every patient. This treatment plan should encompass the patient's goals in accord with the standards of care for the disease. Additionally, with a particular interest in Geriatric Oncology, I feel that age alone is never a criteria on which a treatment decision should be based.
