Umit Tapan, MD

My passion is the delivery of exceptional lung cancer care to our patients. My research interests are reducing disparities in lung cancer treatment, improving access to new treatments such as immunotherapy and targeted treatment. When I am not at work, I play soccer in an amateur league, as a goalkeeper, coach elementary school soccer teams as volunteer, play chess, and kayak.
