“I hope patients and their family members see me as an attentive and caring clinician who advocates for patients.”

— Cipriano

How have you been personally impacted by cancer?

I’ve had friends affected by cancer, and in my more than two decades in oncology, I have seen the emotional and financial impact it has on patients. Each person requires and deserves the same care I would want to receive.

Oncology as an interest found me, like a calling, and through treating patients, I found myself.

Do you have any favorite memories of working with patients you’d like to share?

A patient once told me that if it wasn’t for me, they would have given up hope. That was very kind of them to say. Another time, earlier in my career, I cared for a patient with stage 4 melanoma. More than a decade later, I encountered them again when they were a survivor under surveillance. Hope is not just a word, it’s reality.
