Laura Farrington, D.O. is a medical oncologist at City of Hope Cancer Center Chicago (formerly Cancer Treatment Centers of America [CTCA]), in Zion, Illinois. As a cancer doctor specializing in a wide range of cancer types, Dr. Farrington's goal is to empower her patients by helping them understand their disease and treatment options so they can make informed decisions about their care. "To me, patient-empowered care means choices," she says. "A physician should not just tell patients what to do, but help them decide which path is best for them." In addition to treating cancer, she also takes care of palliative patients' needs, ensuring that, regardless of diagnosis or outcome, they receive the care they need.
