Ted and Amy in the Morning

While cancer remains the second leading cause of death in the United States – progress is being made every day in the form of new research, new treatments, new technologies, and new approaches to care, patient support, and survivorship. That’s why Hematology Oncology Associates of CNY (HOA) brings you the Cancer News from HOA interviews with Ted & Amy! Each month, HOA’s Dr. Ajeet Gajra will explore what’s new in cancer care to help ensure the Central New York community is fully informed about the state of cancer care. We hope you’ll tune in and share the news!
