Tia Aalto-Viljakainen
Specialist in Medical Oncology
I am an oncologist whose passion is treating breast cancer. I have a 20-year career as a physician, and since 2017 I have had the privilege of treating cancer patients. By education, I am also a gynaecologist, but breast cancer has become my lifelong mission. Breast cancer, its evolving treatment options, and breast cancer follow-up are my areas of special expertise. Encountering patients humanely and empathetically is important to me, in addition to expertise.
You are welcome to my practice with any concern or question related to breast cancer.
