Care philosophy

I focus on both cytopathology and surgical pathology, with a particular interest in cancers of the head and neck and gynecologic tract. My research and clinical work center on predictive biomarker testing in solid tumors, especially metastatic non-small cell lung carcinoma. I study how PD-L1 immunohistochemistry can guide treatment with immune checkpoint inhibitors and help select appropriate therapies for patients.
