Samuel Alexander Shelanski, MD

I became a radiation oncologist because the diagnosis of cancer can suddenly and unexpectedly change a patient’s life and lead to many questions. I enjoy guiding you through this process and giving you a roadmap of what to expect. I want you to feel heard, reassured and comforted after meeting me and that you had all your questions answered. I am dedicated to support you and your family and help you understand your diagnosis and options for cancer treatment. I will help you fight cancer by developing a personalized care plan for you that aligns with your wishes and goals. After our consultation, I want you to feel comfortable asking me questions at any time. I value working with a multi-disciplinary team of cancer specialists at the Banner MD Anderson Cancer Center in Northern Colorado and Arizona and MD Anderson Cancer Center in Texas to provide patients with state-of-the-art cancer care. I am the institutional principal investigator on several clinical trials to bring the latest treatments and technologies to patients in Northern Colorado including trials for patients with breast, prostate, and lung cancer.

I believe in offering patient-centered care. My role in a patient's cancer journey is to understand a patient's goals and offer the best possible treatment options to achieve these goals. I strive to give patients the time they need to feel comfortable with their diagnosis and treatment options. I am committed to a wholistic approach to cancer care. I work closely with the multi-disciplinary cancer team to support patients through their cancer journey and to provide high-quality, compassionate, and thoughtful care.

I am committed to the care and treatment of every patient.
