Oreofe Odejide, MD, MPH, discusses her work and patient care at the Lymphoma program. She treats patients with non-Hodgkin lymphoma, Hodgkin lymphoma, and chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). As lymphoma has over 40 subtypes, Odejide believes that it’s important for patients to understand their diseases, and encourages them to bring their questions to her.

Research

Outcomes Research, Health Services Research, Hematologic Malignancies

The focus of my research is to understand patterns of care, comparative effectiveness of treatments, and quality of care for patients with hematologic malignancies, throughout the continuum of disease from diagnosis through the end of life (EOL). I am interested in developing targeted interventions to improve the quality of care for patients with hematologic malignancies.
