Contributions to Patient Care


 
Dr. Salem champions a major movement in America to humanize cancer medicine. He feels that the explosion in scientific knowledge has diminished the human dimension. He embraces the philosophy that in medicine, you treat people, not diseases. Therefore, when you treat cancer, you must treat the whole patient.
 
 My life has been a continuing and dailey struggle to conquer a vicious enemy called cancer. -Dr. Philip A. Salem, M.D.
 
Dr. Salem believes that cancer therapy must be delivered in a very meticulous way, and patients should be monitored almost daily. Attention to details makes all the difference, sometimes the difference between life and death.
