Amrita Desai, MD Medical Oncologist Care No cancer is routine, and as a medical oncologist, I don’t believe a patient’s treatment should be either. Each member of the CMH-OHSU Knight Cancer Collaborative care team believes in the power of personal connections. By understanding each patient’s needs, concerns, and unique set of circumstances, we can help to ensure better health outcomes and the best possible patient-experience.
