Comprehensive patient care has been my first priority. Each cancer patient needs evidence-based, state-of -the-art management that is individualized by a patient's choices and beliefs. In addition, biomedical science research, patient quality of life, and multi-culture background have a deep impact on me at a personal level and therefore play an equally important in my practice of Radiation Oncology at Weill Cornell Medical College and New York Hospital Queens.
