About Me
I’m Kan Huang, MD, PhD, MS, a medical oncologist/hematologist with Phelps Health. I joined the organization in 2019 and am board-certified in internal medicine, oncology and hematology. I am highly trained to treat adult patients for all types of cancer, with special interests in lung, gastrointestinal (GI), skin and breast cancer.
I was born and raised in southern China but came to the US with my brother who lost his vision at age 17. His vision was eventually restored, thanks to a wonderful eye doctor in West Virginia. This experience motivated me to pursue a career in the medical field. My immediate family members also worked in the medical field, and I wanted to follow in their footsteps. During my residency, my mentor was the president of the American Cancer Society in New York. She made a lasting impression on me, and I dedicated myself to fighting cancer as a result. My research background also lends itself to understanding and implementing new cancer treatments.
As a medical oncologist/hematologist, taking the time to get to know my patients is important to me. I spend a solid hour with new patients, and I meet their families. I take a personalized approach. At the Phelps Health Delbert Day Cancer Institute (DDCI), we provide comprehensive cancer care. We ensure a patient’s different needs – transportation, for example – are met. Our oncology team works together to make certain we are on the same page when treating our patients.
I chose Phelps Health for a couple of reasons. I love the friendly, family-oriented community in Rolla. I also desired to work with a passionate and gifted team and have found that here at the DDCI.
I am married with two boys and love to be active outside of work. My hobbies include Zumba, swimming, yoga and exploring the outdoors with my boys. I also enjoy cooking and traveling, especially to the mountains. I am fluent in English and Chinese.
