This episode of Yale Cancer Answers is the second in a 4-part series in honor of the 50th Anniversary of Yale Cancer Center and 50 years of cancer progress across disciplines. A National Cancer Institute (NCI)-designated comprehensive cancer center since 1974, Yale Cancer Center is one of only 56 Centers in the nation.
Dr. Glazer has dedicated his career to helping cancer patients receive the highest quality of care available in a supportive environment. “When patients are undergoing radiotherapy for cancer, it can be a sensitive and challenging time for them and their families,” he said. “Our team does everything possible to keep our patients safe and comfortable throughout treatment.”
