Pursuing an interest in cancer and nuclear radiation, Dr. Lemanne majored in biophysics at UC Berkeley. She graduated with academic distinction, and upon entering medical school at UC San Francisco was named Regents’ Scholar, the highest academic award granted by the University of California.

After earning the MD degree, she served an internship and residency at Henry Ford Hospital in inner-city Detroit. She then trained in medical oncology at the prestigious Stanford University. In 2011, after fifteen years in practice, she completed a 2-year fellowship in integrative medicine at the University of Arizona. Along the way, Dr. Lemanne has earned two more advanced degrees, one in public health from UC Berkeley, the other in science writing, from Johns Hopkins University.

Dr. Lemanne has treated thousands of cancer patients, combining the best conventional and complementary approaches. Her superb conventional training allows her to safely use the most advanced anticancer pharmaceuticals available. She enthusiastically recommends these when medically necessary, when of proven benefit, and when acceptable to the patient.
She understands, however, that some patients are unwilling or unable to accept the risk of side effects that can accompany conventional treatments.  For patients who make an informed decision to forego conventional therapies, or for those too frail to withstand the side effects, Dr. Lemanne formulates an alternate program, and importantly, a plan for expediently assessing the program’s effectiveness.
