Message from the Director
|
Carolyn D. Runowicz, M.D. |
Throughout my career as a gynecologic oncologist, and
during my years of leadership with the American Cancer
Society and other national cancer organizations, I have
become increasingly
passionate about cancer prevention. Studies show that we now
have drugs
that actually prevent cancer. We stand at the cusp of a new
era in cancer
medicine – one with strong emphasis on prevention, early
diagnosis and more
effective treatments.
At the Neag Comprehensive Cancer Center, we offer
personalized care
to help men and women understand their risk of cancer – and
what they can do
to prevent the disease. For patients who have been diagnosed
with cancer, we
offer comprehensive cancer care in a warm and trusting
environment. As a cancer survivor, I understand the importance of giving
patients the best
care science offers, as well as the best support and
assistance to ensure quality
of life for patients and their families.
Thank you for taking time to learn more about the Neag
Comprehensive
Cancer Center. Please know our physicians and scientists are
committed to
serving the people of Connecticut and the surrounding
region. Feel free to call
us for more information or visit us on the web at

Sincerely,
Carolyn D. Runowicz, M.D.
Director, Neag Comprehensive Cancer Center
Immediate Past
President, American Cancer Society
