As a clinical cancer specialist and researcher, his research work includes small cell gall bladder cancer with paraneoplastic hyponatremia, exploring the lack of somatic mutations in VEGFR-2 tyrosine kinase domain in hepatocellular carcinoma, renal cell carcinoma (kidney cancer) with bony metastases, and use of the chemotherapy drug docetaxel (Taxotere) with or without ketoconazole in breast cancer.
