Specialty: medical oncology /internal medicine

I am the only practicing medical oncologist in a southern city,in the Philippines. The city, Bacolod city, is a small one and compared to Boston, where I had that chance to train for about 6 months in oncology, this one doesnt even have one decent public or private library let alone a medical library. As such, I am practically starved from recent medical developments and save for a few information i derived from an on-off supply of Journal of Medical Oncology(ASCO), I feel I am being left behind in the latest management trends in cancer management. I am not married though I am seeing someone. Pastime would include tennis, swimming, running and would be relaxed by music of chopin and beethoven. I am new to internet and am very excited with such opened floodgate of millions of information.

Research/Medical Interests:

cancer and immunology my basic training is clinical medical oncology and most researches the I became part of where clinical trials i.e. Use of CEOP in intermediate NHL compared to standard CHOP; Study of oral morphine in cancer pain patients and the quality of life of these patients. At present i am involved in a trial studying oral 5FU and oral leucovorin for advanced colonic ca ; and use of NOZINAN (Methotrimeprazine) and Morphine in cancer pain. I am presently thickly involved in a newly organized cancer support group, the first one in our locality.
