About me

Introduction I am a retired medical oncologist. For the last seven years I was a medical editor for the American Cancer Society where I helped develop much of the information about specific cancers that is posted on the website at www.cancer.org. I attended the University of Chicago as an undergraduate and also received my MD there. I trained in hematology and oncology at Montefiore Hospital and Medical Center in New York and then spent 5 years as an assistant professor at UCLA. Following that, I went into practice in Long Beach, California. In 1992 I received a masters degree in public health from UCLA and then worked in managing cancer care in HMOs for some time till joining the ACS. I retired from the ACS in November, 2006.
