Biography
I have been providing the cardiology consultative services at Roswell Park for more than 20 years. About 10 years ago Cardio-Oncology became a recognized subsepecialty. Since that time, I have become more involved in some of the research projects at Roswell Park that involve monitoring and follow up of the cardiovascular system in patients undergoing cancer treatments of many different kinds.
