Sapna Patel, MD, a widely renowned melanoma oncologist and clinical investigator, has joined the University of Colorado Cancer Center and the CU Department of Medicine, with a goal of helping to build a “pinnacle of skin cancer treatment” in the Rocky Mountains.
“I’m so thrilled to be here,” Patel says. “It’s a place that has a clear vision to conquer cancer, where hope meets healing, and every day we have the chance to advance the care and treatment of patients with cancer.”
Patel comes to the CU Cancer Center from MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston, her professional home for more than 16 years. She joins CU as a professor in the Division of Medical Oncology, where she has been appointed leader of the Cutaneous Oncology Program, and she holds the Dr. William Robinson Endowed Chair in Cancer Research.
