Guinea pigs are important to Ohio State University leukemia specialist Kerry A. Rogers, MD, as pets who bring joy to patients, coworkers, and even random people in the elevator when dressed up for Halloween. Rogers prioritizes patient quality of life in her research on treatments for chronic lymphocytic leukemia and hairy cell leukemia, focusing on targeted agents over chemotherapies. She is excited about a study combining obinutuzumab, ibrutinib, and venetoclax for CLL treatment. Rogers also specializes in hairy cell leukemia, aiming to improve treatment outcomes for this rare condition. She balances her passion for medicine with her love for college football and her two guinea pig pets, who provide her with companionship and joy.
