“I know firsthand the impact effective treatments can have on quality of life for both patients and their loved ones.”
— Dr. Hawley
What is your approach to care?
I draw from my personal history as a U.S. Peace Corps volunteer in the Republic of Kiribati and as a senior clinical advisor in rural Nepal to understand that each patient and family has unique goals, challenges and hopes in managing their life with cancer.
Have you or a loved one been impacted by cancer?
Both my grandfather and father were diagnosed with prostate cancer.
Provider Background
Area of Clinical Practice
Genitourinary malignancies, prostate cancer, bladder cancer, immunotherapy
I chose to dedicate my career to investigating cures for prostate cancer during my research and fellowship training with my mentor, Charles Drake, MD, PhD, a prominent prostate cancer immunologist.
I am involved in patient care as well as clinical and translational research. My research focuses on advancing novel therapies in genitourinary malignancies and identifying immunologic biomarkers suggestive of clinical response.
