“Although most would agree that oncology cases are the toughest, I am challenged by each and every diagnosis, confronting them with a customized plan as individual as each patient,” notes Dr. Wittig. “Continuously learning and exploring options for treatment is as part of my profession as clinical care, too. Most recently, as a guest lecturer in La Serena Chile by the Musculoskeletal Tumor Society of the National Chilean Orthopedic and Traumatology Society, I collaborated with outstanding surgeons and colleagues focused on similar cases. These types of opportunities not only inspire but increase my motivation even more as a Cancer Surgeon.”
