Prior to Dr. Gatson's appointment with IUSM/IUH, she served as the charter Medical Director of Neuro-Oncology at both Banner MD Anderson Cancer Center in Arizona, and Geisinger Health in Pennsylvania, demonstrating excellence in neuro-oncology program development. Dr. Gatson’s practice philosophy is rooted in compassionate and evidence-based care that extends quality LIVING. Her research is focused on population science, brain tumor imaging, brain/spine and leptomeningeal metastases and the Neuro-Oncology of Women (N.O.W. - a subfield she founded within neuro-oncology). Dr. Gatson is dedicated to patient health literacy and founded a nonprofit called, Living Oncology, which is a community outreach initiative aimed at educating physicians, patients, caregivers and scientists around advances in cancer care delivery.
