I agree on both counts. My husband had been under his care for over eight years and he is the best. He owes his life to Dr Landgren. He is truly another member of our family, the same as is his assistant Dennis. What a team! Empathetic, extremely knowledgeable, positive and forward thinking. We are from VA and have followed him from NYC to Miami. Cannot recommend him enough!

1. Restarting Original Therapy: If remission lasted at least six months to one year, reintroducing the initial therapy might be considered.
