“I really thought they were going to have to take my arm off,” said Gutierrez, former director of the California Department of Fair Employment and Housing. “It was a miracle that I met Dr. P. The first thing he said to me was, ‘I’m going to fix you, don’t you worry.’”

“[Dr. Phipatanakul] genuinely takes the time to understand & care for his patients and their recovery. He is an example of what Loma Linda aspires for all its physicians to be. And, his team is personable, kind, & even with all their clients, they don’t forget who you are.”

Pamela Iniguez vividly remembers the shock her family felt after learning that her fifteen-year-old daughter, Samara Serafini, had a brain tumor after unexplained twitching on the right side of her body. news.llu.edu/patient-care/t…

Samara’s leg twitching was the first visible sign of a much larger problem—a brain tumor that had been quietly growing for years. Doctors diagnosed Samara with a meningioma, a type of tumor that forms on the meninges, the protective tissue covering the brain and spinal cord.

"Dr. Minasian and the entire neurosurgery team were so supportive and informative. The ICU nurses were great, too. One of the nurses was the sweetest, kindest, and most empathetic nurse I could have asked for my daughter." - Grateful Parent

Breast cancer is a complex and challenging disease, but patients have more treatment options than ever before. At Loma Linda University Health a range of cutting-edge therapies are available to ensure patients receive comprehensive, individualized care. lluh.org/cancer-center/…

Depending on the stage & size of the breast tumor, as well as patient preferences, different surgical approaches may be recommended. Both lumpectomy (breast-conserving surgery) & mastectomy (removal of the entire breast) are viable options.

A lumpectomy is a procedure that removes the cancerous tissue while preserving the majority of the breast. For early-stage cancers, lumpectomy followed by radiation therapy can be as effective as a mastectomy. #BreastCancerAwareness #BreastCancerTreatment

In cases of larger tumors, multifocal disease, or personal preference, patients may opt for a mastectomy, where all breast tissue is removed. Loma Linda University Health also provides advanced nipple-sparing mastectomy options to improve aesthetic outcomes post-surgery.

Medical oncology focuses on systemic treatments, such as chemotherapy, hormone therapy, & targeted therapies, that circulate through the body to attack cancer cells and are tailored to the specific biology of each patient’s cancer, leveraging advances in personalized medicine.

With reconstructive surgery, physicians offer comprehensive breast reconstruction options to restore the breast's appearance, often performed in conjunction with a mastectomy.
