Medical Oncology

I am a medical oncologist with expertise in the development and use of novel cancer treatments for a variety of cancers. I see patients with a variety of cancers, including lung, head and neck, breast, and thyroid cancer as well as cancers of unknown primary site.

My research focuses on clinical trials of new anticancer treatments, including medicines and combinations of medicines being given to patients for the first time. In the course of this research, I am working on new treatment options that I hope will prove effective and eventually become available to patients with cancer everywhere.

I came to Fox Chase in 2001 because it is a unique and productive community of physicians and laboratory scientists who are focused on and committed to working together to improve cancer treatment.
