My patients have come to expect from me an approach that honors how complex the decision-making process around cancer can be. I firmly believe in multidisciplinary care with the patient at its core, respecting the unique needs for personalized care of every single patient I see.
Meet the newest member of Virginia Cancer Specialists’ breast and gynecologic oncology care team, Dr. Danijela Jelovac. She is settling into one of its newest expansions, in the heart of Arlington, Virginia. Dr. Jelovac is an award-winning, board-certified medical oncologist who earned her medical degree from the University of Belgrade before completing a postdoctoral research fellowship at the University of Maryland. She completed a residency in internal medicine at Union Memorial Hospital, followed by a fellowship in medical oncology at the Sidney Kimmel Comprehensive Cancer Center (SKCCC) at Johns Hopkins University.
“It was a privilege to join the practice recently to meet the growing demand for breast and gynecologic cancer specialization in Fairfax and Arlington,” says Dr. Jelovac. “Working in a community cancer center environment such as Virginia Cancer Specialists has been truly a gift and richly rewarding experience.”Â
Dr. Jelovac served as investigator on many clinical trials prior to joining the practice, so she feels right at home with direct access to Virginia Cancer Specialists’ vast clinical trials portfolio, the largest in the Mid-Atlantic. “For more than five decades, we’ve earned the trust of our community. Not only do we offer full spectrum, state-of-the-art, integrated advanced cancer care, we do so with an unwavering commitment to integrity,“ Dr. Jelovac adds. “We believe that doing the right thing is not only possible, but also essential for our patients and their families. Being able to offer them options and hope is at the core of what we do.”Â
