Mount Sinai School of Medicine

My clinical practice is grounded in a patient-centered, team-based approach to personalizing treatment and, in alignment with the themes that also drive my research, is focused on “therapeutic ratio.” While we strive for cure, we must continue to improve methods to both minimize toxicity and improve outcomes by achieving the most effective balance between intensifying/de-intensifying treatment. My specific areas of focus include treatment of head and neck cancer and hematological malignancies. I am a leading expert in HPV-related head and neck cancers and offer my patients novel clinical and translational protocols that allow us to optimize tumor control while minimizing treatment related morbidity. My clinical work includes treating patients at Mount Sinai’s state-of-the-art proton beam center. Proton beam therapy is an emerging treatment modality showing significant promise for recurrent head and neck cancers, and my distinctive expertise in this area attracts patients from across the region. As a head and neck oncologist, I have specialized expertise in the management of cancers which invade and spread along the nerves (perineural invasion/PNI). This aggressive cancer phenotype is correlated with poor survival. I have developed specific treatment protocols for patients with PNI and have received substantial extramural funding to identify novel treatment approaches for these patients. I subspecialize in radiation treatment for lymphomas and leukemia and am among the world’s leading experts in extramedullary leukemia, a rare manifestation of acute myeloid leukemia.
