Clinical Care
Overview
Tarsheen Sethi, MD, MSCI (master of science in clinical investigation), is a hematologist who specializes in treating patients with Hodgkin and non-Hodgkin lymphoma—cancers that begin in white blood cells called lymphocytes, which are an important part of the immune system.
An active researcher, Dr. Sethi focuses on treatments using new drugs and multi-drug combinations on all types of lymphomas. Some of her research addresses treatment of a rare category of lymphomas, hastening patient referrals, improving quality of life, and coordinating the use of different drugs.
As the understanding of cancer has become more specific and treatments more complex and targeted, Dr. Sethi has worked to help build a database of information on chemotherapy treatments that is shared freely throughout the world.
