Dr. Camacho’s philosophy is to approach patients with hope, with the understanding that cancer can be a fatal disease process. It is therefore critical that patients use their healing process as a spiritual journey with an enormous potential for individual learning and growth. “We want cancer to be experienced as a great opportunity to love and receive love. To thank God for our loved ones, for each minute, every smile, any moment… and most importantly, for the life lived.”
Dr. Camacho has served as a principal investigator or co-investigator for more than 70 clinical trials. He has co-authored over 100 National and International scientific abstracts.
