May 08, 2019
?Internationally known clinical & translational researcher in the field of gastrointestinal cancer?. One of the very best in the WORLD! He leads many of the leading research studies for drug and treatment in the field. He and his staff lead the entire UCLA team (5 physicians) in treating my stage 4T, rectal cancer. I had a very low survival rate, and I am still here! It’s because if him and his staff! He is the one you want, at the very least to see for his advise!
