Patient Care Philosophy:

Many patients I have seen have relatively unfavorable prognoses when given conventional standard therapy. I believe that these patients need to be thus informed so they can decide whether to enter into a clinical trial testing a new therapy. The clinical research epitomized by such testing is frequently the best care that can be offered a patient.
