Clinical Interests

My clinical interest focuses on patients with an increased susceptibility to cancer. I am interested in all aspects of patient care including assessment and diagnosis, genetic testing and counseling and long term screening and management. We follow patients with well-defined cancer susceptibility syndromes such as Von Hippel Lindau, Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia Type 2 and Tuberous Sclerosis, as well as provide risk assessment and counseling to patients concerned about their family history of cancer.
