In health care today, we spend most of the dollars - in terms of treating disease - in the last two years of a person's life.

We have forgotten that curing cancer starts with preventing cancer in the first place.

We are finally entering an exciting time in medicine where we have the technology to custom-tailor treatment and preventive protocols just as we'd custom-tailor a suit or designer gown to one's individual body. But it all begins with you. You have to know yourself in a manner that you've probably never done before.

I'm a big believer in what's called personalized medicine, which refers to customizing your health care to your specific needs based on your physiology, genetics, value system and unique conditions.

There's no question that the mind-body connection is real, even if we can't quantify it. Hope is one of the greatest weapons we have to fight disease.

I want doctors to treat toward health and not treat toward disease.

Cancer is the ultimate nemesis that hangs in the balance for one in three women and one in two men in their lifetime.
