Research Interest

Studies are directed toward: a) ascertaining the role of the inter- and/or intratumoural microenvironment (milieu) in contributing to the development and progression of cancer; b) the differentiation of latent (indolent) cancer from one that is aggressive and clinically important and should be treated and c) development of response criteria (biological markers) to evaluate the effectiveness of new therapeutic regimens and/or agents.
