Andrea Sitlinger
Medical Instructor in the Department of Medicine

Current Research Interests

My research focuses specifically on improving clinical outcomes for lymphoma patients with interventions in exercise, survivorship, and financial toxicity. I also participate in a number of treatment related clinical trials to help patients access the latest available treatments and continue to improve our treatment options for these patients.

I thoroughly enjoy each opportunity for patient care, and my patients are truly the driver for my research questions and interests. Overall, I hope to 1) provide each patient with a personalized experience that optimizes his or her own care and 2) advance the field of survivorship and chronic cancer management to inform the overall care of these patients and ultimately improve their outcomes.
