Nafisa Burhani, MD
Hematology & Oncology
I am a board certified oncologist/hematologist who has been practicing for more than 20 years. I believe in discussing different options of treatment with patients and help them make an informed decision about their care. I am respectful of the choices patients make. Engaging family members in patient care is also very important to me as cancer affects the whole family. I usually will explore other option including clinical trials for the patient. Optimizing patient quality of life with improving their overall outcome is vitally important to me.
September is prostate cancer awareness month. Since prostate cancer is the second most common form of cancer in men, starting at age 45 for those at an increased risk and age 50 for those at an average risk, screening options are available to help catch cancer at an early stage. Take charge of your health and schedule with your primary care provider to discuss family history and risk factors to determine if screening is right for you.
