Overview of Dr. Shreenivas

I am a medical oncologist with a clinical practice in gastrointestinal and rare cancers. From a research standpoint, I am primarily affiliated with City of Hope 's early drug development program. Our group believes in the concept of vertical research, and the overall thrust of my research work has been focused on creating a small but significant impact in a few areas of oncology. They are as follows: 1) improve our understanding of radiation and immunotherapy resistance patterns and develop clinical trial concepts of novel multimodal therapeutic approaches in head& neck and gastrointestinal cancers. 2) develop pilot projects to better understand the role of tumor-informed circulating tumor DNA assays in response assessments. 3) utilization of individualized and personalized molecular-based therapies for the management of rare cancers, and finally 4) survivorship care and symptom management.
