You can still listen to WVON’s “Dr. in the House with Dr. Terry Mason”, when his guest was University of Illinois Cancer Center member Karine Tawagi, MD, and they discussed bladder cancer. May is Bladder Cancer Awareness Month. The show aired live May 5.
Tawagi practices in the Division of Hematology and Oncology at UI Health, where her clinical focus is the treatment of genitourinary cancers including but not limited to bladder, kidney, testicular and prostate cancer. Her research interests focus on clinical trials in genitourinary cancers, in addition to the use of immunotherapy in cancer treatment while developing strategies to diagnose, treat, and minimize side effects related to immunotherapy.
