Summary
- Dr. Linda Bosserman is a professor and medical oncologist at the City of Hope National Medical Center. She focuses on enterprise pathways and protocols to empower efficiencies and value-based care and expands COH's personalized precision medicine to networked cancer specialists and patients throughout the county and internationally via telemedicine and remote second opinion services. Clinically, she sees patients with cancer-related menopause, andropause, and sexual toxicities after completing a PhD 3/2024 in clinical sexology and becoming AASECT certified. She received her medical degree from Stanford University School of Medicine and oncology specialty training at Harvard's Dana Farber Cancer Institute. She has been in oncology practice for 39 years. She specializes in sexual and hormone toxicities of cancer and cancer care after years focusing on the care of women with breast cancer along with her enterprise medical director work serving colleagues at our two academic campuses (Duarte and Irvine), 32 CA network practice sites, and sites in Arizona, Georgia, and Illinois. She brings years of bedside experience to practical implementation methodologies to ensure the latest diagnostics, therapies, and clinical trials can be offered to patients in coordination with their treating physicians wherever they live. As a past Editor-in-chief of ASCO's JCO-Oncology Practice journal and a 15-year co-editor of Community Oncology Journal, she reviews and interacts with clinical researchers and cancer practitioners on the latest care delivery, practice management, and quality improvement science. She publishes on developing and using tools, processes, and teams to empower clinicians, administrators, policymakers, patients, and payers to deliver and report on value-based cancer care. She is working on manuscripts to debunk myths of hormone treatments for women with breast cancer and to review the toxicities of synthetic hormones that aren't seen with bioidentical ones.
