Dr. Heather Parsons to Lead Fred Hutch's Breast Cancer Initiatives
Medical oncologist Dr. Heather Parsons, MD, MPH, has joined Fred Hutch Cancer Center as program head of the Breast Oncology Program.
Her motivation to specialize in oncology, specifically breast cancer treatment and research, stems from her personal experience.
When her younger sister was diagnosed with lymphoma as a young adult, Parsons witnessed the impact of cancer on the entire family.
- Parsons' sister was initially diagnosed with lymphoma, but later it is mentioned that she was diagnosed with melanoma in childhood.
- Depending on the progression of the illness and patient response to treatment, patients often work with the same oncology team for months or years.
Now, with her sister thriving, Parsons aims to improve the experience for patients and their families. Author's summary: Dr. Parsons leads breast cancer initiatives at Fred Hutch.
