Patient Reviews
Oct 10, 2022
Shall always be grateful for the care my husband received from Dr. Swisher. My husband had esophageal cancer in 2006 resulting in weeks of treatment before Dr. Swisher operated. The cancer did not return and we had 10 more years together before he died at 85. I believe my husband was one of the oldest patients at that time to undergo that surgery. Now, that would not seem unusual. Thanks to Dr. Swisher and to MD Anderson for their expertise, research and caring. May you find a cure for the scourge known as cancer. M. Zirschky
