I started this web site because I know how important it is to be informed of new cancer treatments, since my father is a 7 year cancer survivor.
I also launched the CancerForum on Facebook inviting cancer survivors, cancer patients, their family members and friends, and anyone interested. (Please find the link on the left) .
I am a board certified radiation oncologist specializing in advanced, targeted radiation therapy. I joined Camden-Clark Physician Corporation in 2008, because the Radiation Oncology Department at Camden-Clark Medical Center offers the most advanced equipment and technology complemented by highly skilled and compassionate radiation therapists, physicists, nurses and office personnel.
My philosophy is that no two patients are alike or receive the same treatment plan. I am constantly looking for new radiation treatment options for my patients. I strive for the best outcome and possibly cure. I design the radiation treatments with special care using wide spectrum of treatment options, like SRS, SBRT, 4D-CT simulation, respiratory gating, prostate seed implant, prostate HDR, partial breast radiation in 5-days-only with Mammosite-HDR. You will find detailed information of these techniques by checking the links on the top left of this page.
I serve as the Liaison Physician for the Commission on Cancer for Camden-Clark Medical Center. I give each patient personal attention and support throughout their treatment. I work closely with the referring physicians keeping them updated of the patients' progress.
Based on my training and clinical experience I started the Stereotactic Spine Radiosurgery Program (Spine-SRS) at Camden-Clark Medical Center in 2009. Then I established the Stereotactic Body Radiosurgery (SBRT) Program in 2010, treating lung, liver, pancreas and other tumors in 3 to 5 days only. In 2011 I launched our Prostate-HDR Brachytherapy Program offering localized outpatient prostate radiotherapy for those patients who are not candidates for LDR prostate seed implant. This high precision prostate radiation technique has been compared to Cyberknife in the radiation oncology literature. Now I am spearheading the partial breast radiation program treating selected breast cancer patients with a 5-day-only treatment schedule using the Mammosite multi-lumen catheter and the Nucletron HDR afterloading system.
I am proud that I can practice in a Community Comprehensive Cancer Center that offers the very best health care, a patient-centered high-tech environment, a wide range of support services, providing a level of patient care that is hard to match anywhere.
