Like many RCCA doctors, Dr. Wallace has broad expertise with a wide variety of cancer types, including breast cancer, lung cancer, prostate cancer, and colon cancer.

Treatments provided by Dr. Wallace include:
Dr. Wallace understands, however, that no two cancer cases are identical, and the same approach does not work for all of them. This is why, he says, “I play a team approach.” Dr. Wallace works closely with other physicians, including surgical and radiation oncologists. He also maintains relationships with specialists at other healthcare centers, allowing him to give appropriate referrals when he believes patients would benefit from a different form of treatment.

About Stephen G. Wallace, MD
Dr. Wallace joined the oncology field because he believes there is nothing more important than a person’s health and well-being. “I enjoy taking responsibility in matters of a serious nature,” he says. This is also what he finds most rewarding in oncology care. Whether he is guiding a patient’s treatment for the best chance of a cure or aiding with difficult decision-making when a cure is not possible, he has the opportunity to help people through an incredibly stressful time.
“Most people just want someone to be honest with them,” Dr. Wallace adds. He understands that a cancer diagnosis is often confusing or overwhelming. What patients need, just as much as treatment, is a physician who acknowledges their concerns and who answers questions honestly. Dr. Wallace works with patients to understand their needs and achieve their unique goals.
Now is an exciting time to practice medical oncology. “There have been incredible advances in the available treatments,” says Dr. Wallace, “which have resulted in dramatic improvements in patient outcomes.” There are now cures for diagnoses that, historically, were uncurable. Even for patients who still cannot be cured, better treatments often lead to longer survival and a higher quality of life.
Dr. Wallace urges patients to understand this when approaching cancer care. “The development in the field of cancer has been truly remarkable,” he says, a fact that should bring hope and peace of mind to patients and their loved ones.
Medical advances do not only improve existing treatments; they also create new options. Dr. Wallace works with patients on every decision to select the best treatment and implement a plan that provides the most benefits. In this way, he helps patients secure tremendous outcomes from treatment or long-term management – even when a cure is not possible.
Doctor Philosophy
Dr. Wallace’s approach to patient care is “to accurately assess each unique situation, define realistic goals of care, and work together to implement the most appropriate treatment plan. I always aim for a cure when it is a realistic possibility, and I am for comfort no matter what.”
