New England Cancer Specialists Welcomes Oncologist Dr. Laura Salama, Expanding Specialized Breast Care Services to Southern Maine and Seacoast New Hampshire
Scarborough, Maine — New England Cancer Specialists (NECS) is proud to announce the arrival of Dr. Laura Salama, a breast specialist who will bring her expertise to Southern Maine and Seacoast New Hampshire. Dr. Salama’s addition reflects NECS’s continued commitment to providing comprehensive and expert care to the region’s cancer patients.
Dr. Salama was most recently at Dartmouth Medical Center and is a highly regarded breast medical oncologist who shared: “Being a member of the Seacoast community, I’ve watched the impact that NECS has had on cancer care in New England. I knew that I needed to be part of bringing breast cancer care and leading-edge clinical trials home to my community. It is a dream come true to join this exceptional breast cancer team.”
Dr. Salama is the second major physician addition announced by NECS in the last two months, underscoring the growing demand for dedicated breast health services in these communities. She joins a robust breast health team that includes breast medical oncologists Dr. Chiara Battelli, Dr. Brian Haney, and Dr. Eleni Nackos, as well as Dr. Paige Teller, a highly regarded breast surgeon who joined NECS earlier this year. Together, this team will deliver advanced, compassionate, and collaborative breast health care to patients across New England.
“Dr. Salama’s expertise and passion for breast care are a perfect fit for NECS,” said Dr. Devon Evans, Medical Oncologist at New England Cancer Specialists. “Her presence will not only expand access to specialized breast care for patients in Southern Maine but will also be transformative for New Hampshire’s Seacoast region, where such services are urgently needed. We are thrilled to have her on board.”
Dr. Paige Teller, who has been instrumental in advancing NECS’s breast care surgery program, praised the addition of Dr. Salama. “Dr. Salama’s arrival is a bright moment for breast health in New England. We are building a program that not only meets the patients’ needs but exceeds their expectations. Her expertise will ensure this compassionate and exceptional care can expand closer to home.”
