The love of science and a desire to care for others drew Mark Huber, MD, to a career in medicine. In fact, the best advice in medical school he received was to “go into something you love to read about.”
Without a doubt, that was cancers and disorders of the blood, he said, as this helps him stay on the forefront of medical advancements as he delivers compassionate care.
Dr. Huber is a medical oncologist at Avera Medical Group Oncology & Hematology in Sioux Falls, SD. Here, he has cultivated a distinguished practice of treating a variety of cancers and working with specialists from each of these areas.
Expert Care in Cancer Care
Dr. Huber collaborates with his multidisciplinary team to give patients facing cancer the best care possible. Personalized treatment plans may include:
- Chemotherapy
- Immunotherapy
- Targeted therapy
- Supportive and holistic care
However, for Dr. Huber, an integral part to effective cancer care is building good relationships with patients.
“It’s like the old adage: to treat them how you would a family member,” he said, “to respect their opinion and what they have to say.”
Active Lifestyle
When he’s not at work, Dr. Huber enjoys exercising. Running is his main go-to, though he says he’s “not as fast as I used to be.” He also enjoys spending time with his family.
Special Interests
All solid tumors, hematological cancers (lymphoma, multiple myeloma), and blood or clotting disorders
