Vanderbilt-Ingram Cancer Center
Dr. Agarwal is an Assistant Professor of Medicine in the Division of Hematology and Oncology at Vanderbilt University Medical Center, at the Vanderbilt-Ingram Cancer Center. He earned his two fellowships in Medical Oncology and in Hospice and Palliative Medicine at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center. He is the first faculty member at Vanderbilt who is a dual-trained and dual-boarded medical oncologist and palliative care specialist. His clinical practice focuses on the oncologic care for patients with gastrointestinal (GI) malignancies, with specific interest in colorectal, hepatobiliary, pancreas, and peritoneal disease. He also serves on the Palliative Care Consultation service, specifically caring for patients with cancer who are hospitalized. As one of few academic physicians nationally who are dual-trained, Dr. Agarwal’s research interests are to improve quality of life outcomes, illness understanding, decision-making and communication for patients and families facing cancer. He aims to design palliative and supportive care interventions for patients who receive standard treatment, participate in clinical trials and receive investigational drugs, and have evolving sequelae and unmet needs from their cancer treatment that impact their physical, emotional, and psychosocial health.
