Baldassarre Stea, MD-PhD

I love taking care of cancer patients; each patient presents with unique and challenging problems. My responsibility as a physician is to make sure I have provided my patients with the best treatment options about their cancer or tumor and to help them make the difficult decisions that may affect their lives. When approaching a patient, my philosophy is to treat him or her as if they were a family member with empathy, compassion and expertise. My goal is always to cure the disease, but when faced with an incurable problem, I am prepared to shift my focus to relieving suffering.

Radiation Oncology
Pediatric cancer
Treatment of malignant and benign brain tumors

I enjoy traveling to other countries to explore different customs, visiting family and meeting new people; spending time with my children and wife cooking Italian meals; gardening and growing fruits and vegetables ( I have a large fig tree, in my yard); mentoring young students and residents; and publishing research articles.
