I am an academic hematologist with a focus on chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), hairy cell leukemia (HCL), and lymphoma. I have always been passionate about providing personalized, compassionate care to my patients. I believe that treating each individual holistically, considering their unique needs and experiences, is crucial to achieving the best possible outcomes. My dedication to the well-being of my patients extends beyond medical treatment, as I also emphasize the importance of emotional and psychological support throughout their healthcare journey.<\/p>\n

My research interests are centered around geriatric oncology and supportive care. I am committed to understanding the unique challenges that this population faces and developing tailored treatment strategies to optimize their quality of life. This includes exploring age-specific treatment approaches, integrating palliative care, and identifying supportive care interventions that address the physical, emotional, and social needs of older adults during and after treatment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":3891,"menu_order":0,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"layout":"","cellInformation":"","apiCallInformation":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"ud_division":[91,63,77,90],"class_list":["post-3890","ud_entry","type-ud_entry","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","ud_division-all-faculty-profiles","ud_division-division-of-hematology","ud_division-hem-lymphoma","ud_division-our-faculty-syndication","odd"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nChristopher Jensen, MD, MSCR - Division of Hematology<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.med.unc.edu\/medicine\/hematology\/people\/christopher-jensen-md-mscr\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Christopher Jensen, MD, MSCR - Division of Hematology\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"I am an academic hematologist with a focus on chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), hairy cell leukemia (HCL), and lymphoma.
