Efrat Dotan, MD

Description

I am a medical oncologist specializing in the care of patients with gastrointestinal malignancies. While I treat all GI cancers, my primary clinical and research focus is pancreatic cancer, with an emphasis on improving outcomes through clinical trials of new treatment options. I strongly believe that advances in cancer care are driven by the courage of patients who participate in clinical trials. I lead efforts at our center to expand access to these studies. In addition, I have a strong interest in the care of older adults with cancer. I work closely with social work, physical therapy, nutrition, caregivers, and our geriatric oncology team to treat this population. I also am actively involved in national groups dedicated to improving cancer care for older adults with the goal to provide care that is not only effective, but also compassionate, personalized, and supportive of quality of life.
