Peter Martin, M.D.
Hematology
Our goal at the Center for Lymphoma and Myeloma is to provide the best care possible for every patient. Although we havemade great improvements in recent years, more is needed. Therefore, we are working every day to develop better treatments and integrate them into clinical practice.
Our approach involves a comprehensive team of cancer-care specialists in which the patient is central. As a leader in that team, I strive to develop a treatment plan that is individualized to each patient's needs. I am fortunate to work in a center where we can offer a range of therapies, including chemotherapy, radiation therapy, antibody therapy, radioimmunotherapy, and stem cell transplantation. I believe that every patient shouldhave the opportunity to participate in a clinical trial, where they may benefit from new treatments and we all may benefit from medical progress.
