Overview of Dr. Kruper
I have over 20 years' experience as a cancer surgeon and practiced at City of Hope 2008-2023. In 2023, I joined Moffitt Cancer Center. I strive to optimize the treatment of breast cancer through clinical trials and getting the best available therapies to patients as quickly as possible.
