"Most patients really want a doctor who is a partner, and there's an immediate connection once they sense your passion," said Dr. Formenti, chair of the Department of Radiation Oncology & the Sandra and Edward Meyer Professor of Cancer Research. "I look at my team and it is made of people who are determined, passionate & stubborn — they never give up."
