“As a medical oncologist, one of the facets of my job that I value the most is being able to act as a shepherd for my patients, helping to guide them through challenging decisions and experiences. This is precisely what drew me to treat prostate cancer; this disease has innovative and high-quality treatments available, but these treatments can have life-changing side effects, making the decision-making process both personal and complex. It is a privilege to have a professional role that allows me to help my patients crystallize their core values and then help facilitate the treatment that is most aligned with them.” - Dr. Elizabeth Wulff-Burchfield, medical oncologist and palliative care physician at The University of Kansas Cancer Center

“Just like you, cancer is personal for me. After college I became a full-time caregiver for my mother as she underwent surgery, chemotherapy, radiation therapy and a bone marrow transplant. We had to travel out of state to complete her care. I made a promise to spend my career making sure others had access to clinical research close to home. I live up to that promise with my commitment to cancer prevention and survivorship clinical research and dedicate my career to my mother, who without access to a clinical trial might not still be with us two decades later.” - Jennifer Klemp, PhD, MPH, co-leader of the Cancer Prevention and Control research program at The University of Kansas Cancer Center
