William Hawkins, MD, discusses his fondest memories at Siteman and the future of cancer care

Washington University surgeon William Hawkins, MD, says when he walks into a room with a patient, the only thing that matters is what he can do to help and solve their problem of cancer. He says one of his biggest goals is to improve pancreatic cancer treatment through research, and that changing all cancer into more of a chronic disease that can be managed over a period of years when it can’t be cured is the ultimate goal.
