The Art of Surgical Oncology: An interview with Evan Glazer, MD
Dr. Wilner would love your feedback! Click here to send a text! Thanks!
Many thanks to Evan Glazer, MD, a colleague at Regional One Health in Memphis, TN, part of the University of Tennessee Health Science (UTHSC) system. Dr. Glazer is a practicing surgical oncologist and Associate Professor of Surgery at UTHSC. He also received Memphis Magazine's 2024 Innovator Award.
During our 25-minute conversation, Dr. Glazer described the extensive training that led to his current position as a surgical oncologist at Regional One Health. He completed four years of college, four years of medical school, five years of general surgery residency, two years of a research fellowship on liver and pancreas cancer, and then two years of clinical fellowship at the Moffit Cancer Center, Tampa, FL, a total of 17 years of training! Dr. Glazer is now a Board-Certified Surgical Oncologist.
Dr. Glazer explained that in the US, general surgeons provide most surgical cancer care. However, some cases are complex and require additional skills, which is where a surgical oncologist can step in. Surgical oncologists routinely operate on cancer patients, which gives them a level of experience and expertise not always possessed by general surgeons.
Dr. Glazer explained how advances in neuroimaging, including CT, MRI, and PET scans, have aided surgeons by better identifying anatomical structures that vary from patient to patient. Collaboration between medical oncologists, surgical oncologists, radiologists, radiation oncologists, pathologists, and others can lead to optimal clinical results. Cancer is not always a "death sentence" as it used to be.
