Bio

Ignacio Garrido-Laguna, MD
Assistant Professor, University of Utah School of Medicine

Ignacio Garrido-Laguna, MD is an assistant professor of oncology at the University of Utah School of Medicine and a Huntsman Cancer Institute (HCI) investigator. At HCI, he sees patients with gastrointestinal cancers and patients enrolled in Phase I trials.

At HCI, Garrido-Laguna’s primary research interest is pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDA), which is the most common form of pancreatic cancer. Through his research, he has found that stroma (tissue around the tumor that gives nutrition to cancer cells) is involved in resistance to chemotherapy. He and his lab are expanding their research in order to understand what role stroma plays and what drugs can stop its negative reaction to the therapy. They intend to use this information to help identify more effective treatments for PDA.

Before joining HCI, Garrido-Laguna was a clinical fellow in the Phase I program at the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center. He completed his postdoctoral fellowship in the Sidney Kimmel Comprehensive Cancer Center at Johns Hopkins. Garrido-Laguna finished his internship and residency in medical oncology at Hospital Universitario 12 de Octubre in Madrid, Spain. Garrido-Laguna received his medical degree from the School of Medicine of Universidad de Navarra, Pamplona, Spain.

Like the doctor but the pa didn't seem to listen I think it was because of the long wait time and her not knowing the case

I like the doctors

Our visit was cut a little short due to having to go to tumor board. Dr. Gerido explained that, and invited us to come back after he was done to further answer any questions. I didn't have a lot (of questions), but I was very impressed by this. He was very caring and concerned.

when you are facing cancer... or for that matter, this care provider gives a complete picture of the care needed and is totally thorough in the matter of taking time to meticulously cover every detail of patient diagnosis, prognosis, and support care etc.
