Introduction from the Chief

The Division of Hematology/Oncology provides medical oncologic and hematologic services to Jackson Memorial Hospital, UM/Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center, and the Miami Veterans Administration Hospital. The division sees over five thousand newly referred cancer patients per year and a large variety of patients with hematologic illnesses as well. The unique and diverse population base provides unparalleled training and research opportunities. To make an appointment contact us at 305-243-4909.

UM/Sylvester  organizes its oncologic services into site-specific multidisciplinary oncology groups, which meet regularly to coordinate patient care, protocol development, and translate research efforts across our three major institutions. Site-specific clinics in head and neck oncology, lung oncology, hematologic malignancies, breast cancers and other specific disease groups have also been introduced both in Jackson Memorial out-patient clinic and at the Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer center. These site-specific disease groups function across departmental lines to provide state-of-the-art care and conduct innovative clinical research.

The division ranks have recently been expanded considerably with new recruits from outside institutions into key areas while we maintain an already stellar core of clinicians and investigators. A description of all our current faculty with their interests can be found in this web site.
