I am interested in developing novel Phase II studies for patients with lung cancer and esophageal cancer. We are in the process of developing collaborative studies predicting chemoresponsiveness in patients with non-small cell lung cancer. In addition, I am working with physicians from the Departments of Medicine, Cardiothoracic Surgery, Radiology and Pathology to develop a lung cancer screening program.
