Part 7: CUTV News Radio welcomes back Dr. Nader Javadi of Hope Health Center

Calabasas, CA – Dr. Nader Javadi, MD is an oncologist and medical director of the Hope Health Center, an independent, private oncological clinic that specializes in Precision Oncology: the customization of cancer therapy based on an individual's specific genetic markers.

Inspired by his mother's death from ovarian cancer while still an intern, Dr. Javadi has dedicated his professional medical career to fighting cancer. Throughout the course of his career, Dr. Javadi has gained expertise in several facets of oncology and hematology including genetic testing, and advanced oncology treatment. Dr. Javadi has practiced oncology for 18 years, with a great success rate in treating advanced terminal cancer patients, improving their quality of lives and survival.

“Even if you cannot get rid of the disease, perhaps we can control it to make it a chronic disease the patient can live with and not die from,” says Dr. Javadi. “The most important thing for me is quality of life. The first thing you want to accomplish is to remove the pain or ease it, so the patient can have a better quality of life. If we can do that, we can improve survival, too.”

With the current standard of therapy, there is still a 5-30 percent chance a cancer put in remission may return in the future and present itself as stage IV. Precision medicine is a systemic therapy to prevent the cancer from coming back anywhere in the body.

Standard of care is limited. A regular insured patient is generally not able to afford this treatment. That's why Dr. Javadi has established the Hope Foundation, a nonprofit organization designed to fundraise specifically for patients in need who cannot afford precision medicine.
