Minnesota Oncology is pleased to announce the association of Barbara Bowers, MD, with the practice of medical oncology at the Edina Clinic beginning today.

She completed her residency at Abbott Northwestern Hospital, Minneapolis and a fellowship in medical oncology at the University of Minnesota Masonic Hospital in Minneapolis.

“As a physician, my role is to partner with patients. To do that, we need to educate patients, giving them information they need to make informed decisions regarding their care, and to help us communicate on the same wave length. I try to make sure they know that they are the most important person on our care team,” says Dr. Bowers.

As a well-known medical oncologist specializing in the diagnosis and treatment of breast cancer and those at high risk for developing breast cancer, Dr. Bowers is frequently sought as a public lecturer and has presented at professional seminars such as the Breast Cancer Awareness Association Living with Breast Cancer conference.
