Why do you practice bone marrow transplant and immunotherapy?

I am continually moved by our patient’s bravery and grace as they often navigate the outer limits of medicine in the hope of a cancer cure for all.

I am a certified physician assistant who sees patents at the South Lake Union Clinic and Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center at UW Medical Center - Montlake.

Clinical Trials

We make promising new treatments available to you through studies called clinical trials led by Fred Hutch physicians. Many of these trials at Fred Hutch have led to FDA-approved treatments and have improved standards of care globally. Together, you and your physician can decide if a study is right for you.
