Alison Schram, MD

My research focuses on finding and targeting the molecular changes that drive a person’s tumor. This allows us to more precisely tailor treatments to their disease. By developing and running early-phase clinical trials, I hope to bring new and more effective therapies to people with all types of cancer.

I understand that being diagnosed with cancer is scary, and navigating treatment can be overwhelming. I help guide my patients through the process so that they feel supported and confident in their care. Together, we create a personalized treatment plan based on what is important to them. I work with my colleagues in surgery, radiation oncology, supportive care, pathology, and radiology to find the best treatment approach for each person.
