Dr. James Alfred Wallace, MD

Geriatric MedicineOncology

OVERVIEW

Dr. James Wallace is a skilled oncologist with specialty training in geriatrics. He has particular expertise in the treatment of older cancer patients. Dr. Wallace specializes in the assessment of the oldest old (age 85 and up) and frail older patients (age 65 and up with medical problems) who seek help in learning how to manage cancer. He also advises other physicians, helping them choose the best treatment options for older patients who have cancer. Communication is one of Dr. Wallace's top patient care priorities. He believes effective communication is essential in any successful doctor-patient relationship. He is also a teacher with a national leadership conference (Oncotalk Teach) for physician instructors who teach communication skills to junior physicians. Dr. Wallace is an active researcher. He serves as co-director of the Specialized Oncologic Care and Research of the Elderly (SOCARE) clinic at the University of Chicago-a program dedicated to understanding how frailty, cognitive deficits and advanced age affects cancer treatment. Weekly, this clinic sees a diverse population of older patients, offering individual consultation and answering their questions about effectively managing cancer. Additionally, the SOCARE clinic conducts research studies designed to improve the care of the elderly cancer patients.
