Dr. William Barrett, founding physician behind both Naples Cancer Advisors and Cincinnati Cancer Advisors, was recently featured in the President’s Corner series from the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO). The article, authored by ASCO President and Naples Cancer Advisors’ own Dr. Robin Zon, highlights Dr. Barrett’s commitment to expanding access to expert second opinions in cancer care.
He launched the second-opinion model after seeing how often patients were misdiagnosed, sent out of town unnecessarily, or left without clarity on their treatment plans. His vision was simple but bold: create a consult-only service, free of charge, where experienced oncologists could offer trusted guidance without financial or institutional pressures.
That model now shapes the work of Naples Cancer Advisors. Under Dr. Barrett’s leadership, our team continues to deliver compassionate, expert insight to patients facing some of life’s hardest decisions—always with the belief that great care begins with a great plan.
