Cancer care is a sort of personal mission for Tycel Phillips, MD. As a teen, he saw how pancreatic cancer affected his grandmother and decided to follow her example of service and make his career helping others. As a medical resident, he lost his mother to breast cancer. Her experience with chemotherapy inspired him to pursue research into treatments that are less toxic. His approach to patients is to listen first to understand their needs and develop the most beneficial treatment plan. Leading clinical trials into new targeted therapies is a vital part of Dr. Phillips’ work. He has published over 40 peer-reviewed studies.
