About Me
I am a medical oncologist who specializes in treating patients diagnosed with all types of breast cancer, including female and male breast cancers, ductal breast carcinomas, lobular carcinomas, medullary carcinomas and inflammatory breast cancers.
As a member of the Translational Therapeutics Program at the OSUCCC – James, my research is focused on breast cancer immunology. I study the interaction of the immune system with cancer in order to improve and expand the use of immunotherapies to shrink tumors. In my lab, we are researching ways to inhibit or destroy myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSC) in hopes of boosting antitumor immune response in patients with cancer. We are also testing combinations of therapies that could inhibit MDCS and increase the killing ability of T cells.
In addition to treating patients and conducting laboratory research, I am a principal investigator on several phase I trials that test promising therapies in patients with breast cancer and other solid tumors. I have co-authored multiple articles in such well-respected journals as Clinical Cancer Research, Journal for ImmunoTherapy of Cancer, Breast Cancer Research and Treatment, and Therapeutic Advances in Medical Oncology.
In 2013, I was recognized as a high-performing physician at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center based on patient satisfaction scores and was listed among the top 10 percent of physicians who achieved highest patient satisfaction on a national level in 2013 and 2015. I received the Physician "Champion of Nursing" Excellence Award from the OSUCCC – James in 2013, and I am honored to be a Courage, Conquer & Cure Foundation Award recipient for showing dedication to breast cancer research and outstanding patient care. Additionally, I was recognized as one of central Ohio’s best doctors of 2015-2016 and 2017-2018 in medical oncology and hematology, a listing that appeared in Columbus Business First magazine.

Felt like doctor was concerned about my well being and answered all questions.
I know Dr. Wesolowski is very busy with lots of patients to see, but I really wish he would slow down. I get more comprehensive info from the Resident, Dr. Stiff.
Everyone was so nice and explained everything about my diagnosis.
I was very at ease with my provider and his staff. Everyone was very knowledgeable and interested in answering all of my questions.
Dr. Wesolowski is a blessing.
Fantastic!
I can't thank Dr. Wesolowski enough. He is kind and thoughtful.
