Oncology (General Cancer)/Expert Profile
Expertise
I am a fully trained radiation oncologist and can answer many questions about cancer and its treatment. I can't answer questions about specific chemotherapy agents. I have also worked in general medicine and emergency medicine, so I can give advice about these areas as well. I would like to do this based on my very positive experience with one of your experts (real estate).
Experience in the area
I currently am working as a radiation oncologist in the DC metropolitan area. I have done research and given talks on neurooncology (tumors of the nervous system) at national meetings. I have been trained in use of a new technology, the CyberKnife. I was emergency physician at a busy communicty hospital (Calvert Memorial Hospital) in Maryland for 3 years (1989-1991).
