12121 Richmond Avenue Suite 100 Houston Texas, 77082About
The domain of clinical activity is adult medical oncology with emphasis on breast, lung and colorectal cancer. He incorporates pertinent early information in the investigational field to improve the potential of therapeutic outcome of front-line cancer treatment. The objective is to strive to improve the chance of achieving pathological /clinical complete remission and therefore increasing the odds of curative outcome. This is always done within the context of organ preservation with multimodality treatment approach incorporating limited surgery or radiochemotherapy when necessary. All of that have to be sorted out while dealing with the Human Element dictating individual variation, and nurturing the emotional need, transforming the encounter with cancer from a threatening, frightening experience to emboldening life advancing one.
