TRANSCRIPT: Patricia A. Ganz, M.D., a medical oncologist at the UCLA School of Public Health, is a pioneer in the assessment of quality of life for cancer patients. She discusses aspects of her work in the audio excerpt that follows:
"I focus on breast cancer, and when I see a new patient and discuss the treatment plan, I write an initial consultation note that is sent to the referring physician. But the treatment course for that individual might be six or nine months ahead--they need to finish their chemotherapy, they need to get their radiation and when they're finally through with that acute piece they will go onto some hormonal therapy, which might last as long as ten years." |
