Spotlight on Scott Furlan
Scott Furlan, pediatric oncologist
Dr. Scott Furlan, a pediatric oncologist at Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center, believes he was drawn to bone marrow transplantation because of the sheer complexity of the challenge.
“In pediatric transplant, each patient has a dizzying array of complex problems, each of which often has multiple solutions” Furlan said.
To treat his young cancer patients, he has to sort through raft of possibilities and options, while helping parents navigate the frightful choices that lie ahead of them.
“In pediatrics, we have the opportunity to develop long-lasting relationships and extraordinary connections with patients and families. I still talk with many patients and their parents a decade later,” Furlan said.
