About me

I am a medical oncologist with more than 20 years of experience. I focus on the treatment of thoracic tumours and sarcoma. Management of bone sarcoma (such as Osteosarcoma and Ewing's sarcoma), soft tissue sarcoma, gastrointestinal stromal tumours (GIST), and germ cell tumours (testicular cancer) in adolescents and adults is my unique key competence.
I regularly consult and treat patients with gynecologic malignancies (breast, uterine, cervical, and ovarian), gastrointestinal cancers (oesophagus, stomach, small and large intestine, pancreas, biliary tract), and urogenital tumours (prostate, urinary bladder, kidney) and head and neck cancer.
I also see and treat adolescents and adults with Hodgkin's disease and with non-Hodgkin lymphoma, but not with other hematologic malignancies.

    I am very satisfied, now I know exactly how the treatment for my diagnosis should proceed, I recommend it to all patients because it will open their eyes to what treatment options they have.
