Dr. Marcus Trybula’s path to medicine began in childhood. With a physician father and nurse mother, service to others was always emphasized. An interest in science and service drew him to medicine, but it was his passion for working directly with patients affected by cancer that drove him to a career in hematology and oncology. He finds it deeply rewarding to support patients during an often life-changing process and to form long-lasting relationships with them.
Dr. Trybula provides diagnoses and treatments for patients with all types of cancer. He has a subspecialty interest in lung cancer and precision medicine, which customizes therapies to each person. He believes in taking time to understand his patient’s goals, then partnering with them to determine the best course of tailored treatment, tailored to that individual. He encourages everyone to ask for help when faced with difficulties, knowing that resources are usually available to ease the way.
Dr. Trybula and his wife like cooking and trying new cuisines. He enjoys reading and doing the New York Times crossword. He remains active playing pickleball and water polo. During his fellowship, he volunteered his time and expertise to care for patients with hemophilia in the Amish community in northeastern Ohio.
