Overview

Dr. Blau is a radiation oncologist who specializes in treating brain tumors and gynecologic cancers. She has special expertise in stereotactic radiotherapy. She practices at FHCC South Lake Union and Harborview.

Patient Care Philosophy

Cancer doesn’t always read the rule book, and each patient’s journey is unique. There is often more than one possible treatment path and patients may feel pressure to make the “right” choice. I strive to get to know each individual patient’s hopes, fears, and priorities to help shape the best treatment plan and support system for each patient.
