“Every time I care for a patient, I am also caring for their family.”

— Dr. Hsieh

What do you hope it’s like for a patient to work with you?

Patients with cancer, and their families, need a lot of attention and support. I cherish the memories of caring for patients, whatever their situation, and getting to know their families. It gives me a sense of achievement to develop this relationship while also sharing my knowledge. 

I have retained many great friendships with patients, and we have met to catch up after their treatment was done. 

What brought you to oncology?

I was originally fascinated by the pathophysiology of the gastric vascular system – the blood vessels that serve our digestive organs. It’s very complicated and quite interesting to me. When I was in training, I realized there was a lot to be done in the world of gastrointestinal oncology. We’ve had a lot of advances in cancer care, especially in immunotherapy, but these advances have been more focused in other areas, such as lung cancer. I saw there was a lot that could be done.
