Overview of Dr. Laccetti

I am a medical oncologist specializing in the management of prostate cancer and other malignancies of the genitourinary tract. My primary aim is to provide evidence-based, personalized patient care that balances aggressive treatment strategies and quality of life.

I have a strong foundation in clinical and outcomes research previously investigating strategies to improve access to oncology clinical trials and how cancer patients interface with electronic medical record portals. My current research aims to develop novel remote monitoring strategies for cancer patients utilizing emerging technologies including wearable activity trackers (such as Fitbit®) and smart-phone survey applications. Through development and implementation of these tools, I hope to achieve greater insight into the patient experience facilitating improvement of clinical trial design, patient safety, outcomes and treatment selection. I am also investigating the relationship between prostate cancer, metabolic syndrome and physical activity/exercise. I hope to develop prescriptive exercise interventions to improve prostate cancer outcomes and quality of life, while informing disease biology.

In my free time, I enjoy the running, hiking, ice hockey and spending time with my wife.
