Dr. Mary El-Masry is Stanford educated in Hematology-Oncology. She currently practices at Cedars-Sinai Tower in Beverly Hills, CA which is considered not only a private but an academic practice. Because of the academic aspect, many patients that come to Dr. El-Masry are seeking a second opinion or potential last resort options such as clinical trials. She and Mika discuss a variety of topics including what patients should prepare for when visiting, what kind of symptoms are easily missed, how doctors and caregivers can advocate for patients, and the best ways to stay up to date in the latest cancer research and recommendations.
