About the Interview
About the Interview Subject:
Dr. Michael J. Fisch (b. 11 June 1964, Queens, New York) joined MD Anderson in 1999 as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Palliative Care and Rehabilitative Medicine. In 2004 he became Director of the Community Clinical Oncology Program and in 2009 became Chair of the Department of General Oncology. He is tenured in that Department. This interview is conducted shortly before Dr. Fisch’s departure from MD Anderson for a new opportunity.
Dr. Fisch is known for research has focused on symptom experience, symptom management and cardio-oncology. He conducted a landmark study of chemotherapy and depression. His equally important survey of the management of symptoms related to cardio-toxicity of anthracyclines contributed to the formation of the new field of cardio-oncology.
Dr. Fisch helped establish MD Anderson’s program in palliative care and worked on programs that led to the formation of the new Department of General Oncology.
