Research activity per year
I decided to stay at Fox Chase Cancer Center after completing my fellowship here because I believe in the mission of this center. I believe that Fox Chase provides my patients with an environment that is not only patient friendly but also a place that great care can be delivered. I can offer many of the top clinical trials to my patients if needed and help advance the field of lung cancer therapy. With the dedicated nurses, social workers and support staff at Fox Chase I have the right team in place to help me care for my patients.
I also believe that we treat more than just a disease. I consider the patient as a whole, an individual with a disease and not just the disease. I believe in engaging patients and their families in their care to the extent that my patients allow it. I believe in a team approach to the care of patients with lung cancer and along with my colleagues in the thoracic division we can deliver the best level of care that is possible.
Monoclonal Antibody, Targeted Therapy, Immunotherapy, Cancer Vaccine
My laboratory concentrates on the development of new cancer treatments with an emphasis on the use of immunotherapy and monoclonal antibodies. We are capable of making new monoclonal antibodies against various cancer related targets and have recently received a patent for one such antibody. In collaboration with a number of other scientists at Fox Chase and as a result of laboratory based studies conducted here, I have developed clinical trials that are ongoing for treatment of patients with lung cancer.
My collaborations with scientists outside of Fox Chase also is an important part of what I do with the aim of bringing newer and more effective immune based treatments to the clinic. My laboratory also examines patients’ tumors to try to learn why some patients respond to specific treatment while others don’t. Discovery of new or better ways of treating cancer is an important part of my activities here.
In addition to laboratory based investigations, I am active in clinical trials. My goal is to offer my patients some of the best options that are available. I believe that clinical trials, when offered appropriately, can not only help us develop the next best treatment options but also allow my patients access to potentially new and promising drugs.
In addition I am actively involved in lung cancer screening and research involving potential preventative measures with the hope of detecting lung cancer early and preventing recurrences of this disease.
