He treats all non-hematological cancers. They include, but are not limited to, breast, lung, gastrointestinal, prostate, testicular, bladder, kidney, brain, and head and neck cancer. His area of special interest is supportive care. This is often forgotten part of practice of medical oncology. He believes strongly that cancer doesn’t affect only a person’ body. It affects to variable extent the whole family and friends. It needs not only looking after body but also needs comforting the mind and nourishing the soul.
