Q&A with Sarcoma Researcher and Oncologist Gina D’Amato – Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center
Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center shared on LinkedIn:
“Dr. Gina D’Amato is medical oncologist treating sarcoma at Sylvester. We recently chatted with Dr. D’Amato to find out more about her work and her approach to sarcoma care.
How did you first get interested in Medicine?
When I was in high school, my sister was diagnosed with Hodgkin’s lymphoma. She’s now 35 years in remission. Soon after that, I developed a benign skin condition genetically related to lymphoma. Those experiences sparked my interest in oncology and I was actually going to specialize in lymphoma during my fellowship at the Moffitt Cancer Center. But they needed someone for sarcoma at Moffitt, so I stepped up. It turns out I liked working on a rare cancer. It feels like I can really make a difference in my patients’ lives.
‘We’re finally at the point where we’re beginning to understand the molecular processes behind each individual cancer, so I think the future is bright,’ said Dr. D’Amato.”
