>> Dr. Bryan Anderson: Hello. We are here at the Penn State University College of Medicine
- Milton S. Hershey Medical Center Cancer Institute. My name is Bryan Anderson, and
I am here to talk to you about the Cancer Center's multi-disciplinary skin oncology
clinic. The Cancer Center has been home to this clinic since 2009. This multi-disciplinary
skin oncology clinic is the only comprehensive skin and soft-tissue oncology clinic in central
Pennsylvania. Our group is composed of a surgical and medical oncologist, neurosurgeon, dermatologist,
plastic surgeon, and head and neck surgeon. We all work in unison to provide the best
care for our patients. The multi-disciplinary skin oncology clinic predominantly sees patients
diagnosed with melanoma, squamous cell carcinoma, basal cell carcinoma, and Merkel cell carcinoma
as well as soft-tissue sarcomas including leiomyosarcomas, liposarcoma, and osteosarcoma.
There are a variety of other rare tumors which we also see. We strive to provide a center
where all of our patients' care can be coordinated under one roof. The Cancer Center also has
a myriad of basic science research ongoing in a state-of-the-art facility. Our goal is
to provide our patients with a team of physicians who work together in one location to effectively
and efficiently treat patients with various skin and soft-tissue tumors. I want to thank
you for your time.
