State-of-the-Art Cancer Treatment for Gastrointestinal Malignancies
Dr. Ocean is committed to offering her patients access to the latest therapies through clinical research.

- Radiolabeled monoclonal antibodies
- Cancer “vaccines”
- Immunotherapy
- Novel targeted agents

She is an active member of several professional societies, including the American Society of Clinical Oncology, American Society of Hematology, and American Association for Cancer Research.
Collaborations and Innovation
Relationships and collaborations with not-for-profit and for-profit organizations are of vital importance to the faculty at Weill Cornell Medicine. These exchanges of scientific information foster innovation and keep WCM physicians and scientists at the forefront of their fields. As experts in their respective areas, they are often sought-after by many organizations to consult and educate. WCM and its faculty make this information available to the public, creating a transparent environment.
