Dr. Bugno is a very rare physician in that he not only seems to be well aware of the leading techniques in dealing with cancer, but also takes time to inform his patients of where cancer ha been found in their bodies, how this cancer forms and acts, and all details regarding the treatment he recommends. It is extremely rare to find a physician who takes this much time with his patients to ensure that they understand every aspect of their cancer and treatment.

Disclosures

External Professional Relationships

Pharmaceutical, device, and biotechnology companies frequently collaborate with basic scientists and physicians within an academic medical center to help advance science and improve patient care. These relationships are important in achieving scientific breakthroughs and in establishing the effectiveness and safety of promising new therapies. In order to assure objectivity in clinical research and patient care, the Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine (Feinberg), Northwestern Memorial HealthCare, Children's Hospital of Chicago Medical Center, and the Shirley Ryan AbilityLab have adopted integrity policies that require research and clinical faculty (in full-time, part-time, and unpaid/voluntary categories) to report compensated and uncompensated external industry relationships. Patients are encouraged to discuss these disclosures with their physician as well as to inquire as to how these relationships are overseen by Feinberg.
