Colleen H. Tetzlaff, MHS, PA-C

It has been a privilege to care for cancer patients and their families as a Physician Assistant at Fox Chase Cancer Center since 2009.  As a Physician Assistant, I collaborate with Attending Physicians to provide compassionate, evidence-based care to patients with prostate, kidney, bladder, penile, adrenal and testicular cancers. 

My passion for oncology began when I was a nurse and cared for postoperative cancer patients on an inpatient surgical floor, followed by nursing in an outpatient surgical oncology clinic.  I entered the Duke University Physician Assistant Program knowing that I wanted to make a difference in the lives of cancer patients and become a part of the dynamic and fast-growing oncology field. 

At Fox Chase Cancer Center, we are fortunate to work with outstanding researchers that enable us to offer patients novel therapies on clinical trials.  Actively being a part of the trials that are changing how we treat cancer is exciting and invigorating.   I strive to support not only the patient, but their entire family and support network, throughout all phases of their cancer.  I am honored to be a part of the genitourinary medical oncology team and privileged to care for such inspiring patients and families every day.
