Research Abstract

I am a medical oncologist focusing on sarcoma management and clinical investigation. My clinical responsibilities involve working extensively with the multidisciplinary team within the Center for Sarcoma and Bone Oncology at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute. I treat and provide consultation to many patients with sarcoma both from the New England area, other parts of the United States and from abroad. I am actively involved in the clinical research aspects of our program. Specifically I am working with our research team to developing and executing new clinical trials focusing on therapy for metastatic soft tissue sarcoma as well as being involved in the execution of ongoing clinical trials in our group.
