Hear from Our Patients

Franklin Walters is a retired Navy diesel engine mechanic who was diagnosed with Langerhans cell histiocytosis, a rare cancer of the blood. When doctors at the VA hospital were unable to treat his disease, he came to MSK and received an effective, experimental targeted therapy.

New York City dentist Gregory Page had seen several friends suffer troubling side effects after surgery for prostate cancer. When he was diagnosed with the disease himself, he sought out a less-invasive option. He found it with MSK surgeon Jonathan Coleman, who performs a procedure called vascular-targeted photodynamic therapy. Gregory quickly returned to life as normal.
