Dr. Tessa Cigler & Dr. John Ng: A patient-centered approach to a complex cancer case

Patient Kiley Durham survived her initial diagnosis of triple-negative breast cancer but then the cancer spread to her brain, and later to her cerebrospinal fluid.

See how NewYork-Prebyterian and Weill Cornell Medicine physicians, Dr. Tessa Cigler, medical oncologist, and Dr. John Ng, radiation oncologist, approached this complex case to deliver a successful outcome.
