    Dr. Pulsipher is currently the Division Chief of the Pediatric Hematology at Intermountain Primary Children's Hospital and Oncology, Director of the Children's and Adolescent Cancer Initiative at Huntsman Cancer Institute and a Presidential Chair in Pediatric Oncology and Hematology at the University of Utah.  Dr. Pulsipher is an internationally recognized expert in Bone Marrow Transplantation and Cellular Therapy, having directed the world's largest pediatric transplant research group for more than a decade (Pediatric Transplantation and Cellular Therapy Consortium).  He has run more than 20 multicenter trials in the field and is considered and expert in broad areas of transplantation and cellular therapy.  Areas of focus have included development of reduced toxicity approaches to transplantation of both malignant and non-malignant disorders with a focus on minimizing short and long-term effects of transplant.  For non-malignant disorders he has run national protocols that have improved safety for patients with immunodeficiencies, HLH, and bone marrow failure. For cancer, he has developed techniques allowing identification of patients who can avoid radiation-based treatments for leukemia.  This has included a novel approach to safer transplantation of patients using half-matched family donors (haploidentical donors) using a novel form of bone marrow graft engineering called alpha-beta T-cell depletion.  His desire to develop safer approaches has become a major focus as he has led major studies in the field of chimeric antigen receptor T-cells (CAR T-cells), a safer approach to cancer cure.  Dr. Pulsipher's work in cell therapy helped lead to the FDA approval of the first CART cell treatment, tisagenlecleucel, and he continues to run trials in CAR T, NK, and Viral Specific T-cell therapies. He has open protocols aimed at improving outcomes and his lab efforts are focused on making CAR T-cells that last longer and avoid overcome resistance by cancer cells. Dr. Pulsipher's interests have included ensuring that the families of those undergoing transplantation and cell therapy are psychologically well throughout the process.  To help with this, he has run several large trials assessing the safety and Quality of Life of pediatric bone marrow donors and is he currently running a large national trial looking at the psychological well-being of donor and recipient families as they go through the transplant process.For questions regarding Dr. Pulsipher's adult practice at the Huntsman Cancer Institute, or for questions about any of our clinical programs and for assistance identifying the right Hematology specialist for you or your family member, please contact our Clinical Care Specialist/New Patient Coordinator at (801) 587-4652.

    What is an oncologist?         

    An oncologist is a doctor who treats cancer. There are different types of oncologists who focus on specific kinds of treatments. Here are some examples: 

    • Medical oncologists use medications like chemotherapy, immunotherapy, and targeted therapies to fight cancer. 
    • Surgical oncologists perform operations to remove cancerous tumors or tissue. 
    • Radiation oncologists use high-energy radiation to destroy cancer cells. 
    • Pediatric oncologists focus on treating children and teens with cancer. 
    • Geriatric oncologists work with people with cancer who are 65 and older. 
    • Gynecologic oncologists treat cancers in reproductive organs for individuals assigned female at birth. 
    • Hematologist-oncologists treat cancers of the blood, such as leukemia, lymphoma, and multiple myeloma. 

    Why am I being referred to an oncologist?     

    You may be referred to an oncologist if your primary care doctor suspects you have cancer or another serious condition that requires specialized treatment. Oncologists are experts in diagnosing and treating cancer, but they also manage other conditions like blood disorders or abnormal cell growths that aren’t cancerous. For example, some people are referred to a hematologist-oncologist for issues with blood cells.  

    What tests are performed by an oncologist? 

    Oncologists use a variety of tests to help diagnose cancer and other serious conditions. These tests help them understand what stage the cancer is in or if the cancer has spread. Common tests include: 

    • Blood tests to check for abnormal cells, proteins, or other markers that might suggest cancer. 
    • Biopsies, where a small tissue sample is taken from a suspected area to check for cancer cells. 
    • Imaging tests like CT scans, MRIs, X-rays, and PET scans, which help oncologists get a detailed picture of what’s happening inside the body.

    What treatments are available to me?   

    The type of treatment you receive depends on the kind of cancer, its stage, and your overall health. Treatment usually begins soon after diagnosis, depending on how quickly care needs to start. Your oncologist will guide you through the different treatment options and help you decide on the best approach. 

    Some common treatments include: 

    The type of treatment you receive depends on the kind of cancer, its stage, and your overall health. Treatment usually begins soon after diagnosis, depending on how quickly care needs to start. Your oncologist will guide you through the different treatment options and help you decide on the best approach. 

    Some common treatments include: 

    • Chemotherapy, which uses drugs to kill cancer cells. 
    • Radiation therapy, which uses high-energy rays to target and destroy cancer cells. 
    • Surgery, where tumors or cancerous tissue are physically removed from the body. 
    • Immunotherapy, which helps boost your immune system to fight cancer. 
    • Targeted therapy, which attacks specific changes in cancer cells that help them grow. 

    When should I see an Oncologist near Murray, UT?

    There are various reasons why you may want to see a specialist, such as: 

    • Your primary care provider recommends it. 
    • Your condition requires expert knowledge and specialized care. 
    • Your symptoms persist or worsen despite treatment. 
    • You need specialized testing or procedures. 
    • You want a second opinion.  

    What should I consider when choosing a Oncologist near Murray, UT?

    It’s important to see a provider with expertise in your specific condition. Each provider profile in MediFind’s doctor database includes information on which conditions they treat, years of experience, research contributions, languages spoken, insurance plans accepted, and more.  

    How does MediFind rank Oncologists near Murray, UT?

    MediFind’s rankings are based on a variety of data sources, such as the number of articles a doctor has published in medical journals, participation in clinical trials and industry conferences, as well as the number of patients that provider sees for a given condition. Note that MediFind’s provider database is not based on user reviews, and providers do not pay to be included in the database. 

    What types of insurance are accepted by Oncologists near Murray, UT?

    Most profiles in MediFind’s doctor database include a list of insurance plans accepted by that provider. However, it’s a good idea to contact the provider’s office to make sure they still accept your insurance, then doublecheck by contacting your insurance plan to confirm they’re in network. 

    How can I book an appointment online with a Oncologist in Murray?

    MediFind offers direct scheduling for certain providers using the “Request Appointment” button on that provider’s profile. If the schedule option is not available for a provider, tap the red “Show Phone Number” button on their profile to get their contact information.

    Why is it important to get a second opinion from a different Oncologist?

    Second opinions are an opportunity to confirm a diagnosis and its root cause, learn about alternative treatment options, or simply gain peace of mind. Many people, especially those with serious diagnoses, get second opinions so they can understand all their options and make informed decisions, so don’t hesitate to get one if you have any doubts or need more information or clarification regarding your care. Note that some insurance plans require second opinions, while others don’t cover second opinions, so be sure to confirm with your insurance provider first.   

    How can I prepare for my appointment with a Oncologist near Murray, UT?

Each question you answer filters down the number of trials until you find the ones that are most relevant to you.
