“Its a privilege to work with people who value research and compassion the way I do,” she says. “It’s a blessing to see patients live longer with the cutting-edge treatments available at CSNF. Thanks to the help of my colleagues in the research department, we are able to give patients more special moments with their loved ones.”
“I aim to be candid with my patients about the disease they are facing,” she explains. “Providing realistic hope in a compassionate way is important.”
She believes that involving patients and families in treatment talks and choices is vital. It helps them prepare to take an active role in cancer care.
Dr. Vankayala provides complete care for patients with cancer and blood disorders, including lung, colorectal, pancreatic, breast, and stomach cancers.
When not in the office, Dr. Vankayala enjoys being outdoors and spending time with her family.
