Dr. Bob has been treating cancer patients since 1970.  In 1967, when Dr. Bob was a 2^nd year medical student, he attended his first “Tumor Board”.  Dr. Bob heard medical histories presented and recommendations for treatment of these cancer patients discussed by various types of cancer specialists.  Dr. Bob discovered this is what he wanted to do – to treat patients with cancer.

For over more than 40 years, Dr. Bob has witnessed an explosion in knowledge and treatment options for patients with cancer.

Beginning in 1991, Dr. Bob began to sub-specialize in prostate cancer and since 1997, almost all of our new patients have prostate cancer.

Dr. Bob takes extreme pride that our Compassionate Oncology Medical Group has been able to make major contributions to the treatment of men with every stage of prostate cancer.

For men with low or intermediate risk prostate cancer (PC), Dr. Bob conceived, named, pioneered and was the first to publish the results of his unique medical protocol for the treatment of these stages of PC, which he named Triple Hormone Blockade® (also known as Triple Androgen Blockade®) followed by Finasteride Maintenance® Therapy.  In 2003, the US Trademark Office issued trademark registrations for Triple Hormone Blockade®, Triple Androgen Blockade® and Finasteride Maintenance® for this non-invasive but extremely effective treatment protocol.

Later, Dr. Bob conceived, named and pioneered the use of weekly low dose Taxotere/Emcyt/Carboplatinum chemotherapy 3 weeks on; 1 week off.  Additional major treatment contributions by Dr. Bob and Compassionate Oncology Medical Group have included Dr. Bob’s Prostate Cancer Anti-angiogenic Cocktail, Dr. Bob’s Three Pronged Approach for treating high risk or advanced disease, and Dr. Bob’s High-Dose Testosterone Replacement Therapy approach.  These and Dr. Bob’s other contributions are described in his various recorded lectures (available for order by calling our office at 310-229-3555) and many are also described in his various papers that can be downloaded for free under Publications on this website.

Dr. Bob's latest lecture (filmed on May 16, 2009) is available NOW on DVD.  Order your copy now by calling our office at (310) 229-3555.  For more information, check out our video lectures page here.

Compassionate Oncology Medical Group would like to introduce the new addition to our medical team - Dr. Jeffrey Turner.

Dr. Turner is a native of Southern California, having grown up in Orange County and attended the University of Southern California.  He was the first student to graduate USC’s 3-year accelerated science program with a bachelor’s degree in Biological Sciences.  Subsequently, he was employed as a research associate at UCLA in infectious diseases and molecular biology.  His medical education and residency were both completed in Canada.  His medical degree was at Memorial University of Newfoundland in eastern Canada and more recently, he completed Internal Medicine residency at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver, BC on the opposite coast.  The year after completion of his postgraduate training, he was employed as a hospitalist in Laguna Beach and Los Angeles.  Lastly, he has just completed his medical oncology fellowship at the Medical University of South Carolina with a focus on genitourinary oncology with several research projects and publications focusing on prostate and renal cell carcinoma.

Those who know Dr. Turner attest to his warm personality, sense of humor, and dedication to his patients.  His hobbies include rowing, surfing, weightlifting, saltwater reef aquariums, and spending time with family and friends.

Please join us in giving Dr. Turner a warm welcome.

Please be advised that Dr. Nader Javadi has left Compassionate Oncology Medical Group.  We wish him every success in his new practice.  All appointments and medical matters previously handled by Dr. Javadi will now be managed by our medical team consisting of Dr. Bob Leibowitz, Dr. Jeffrey Turner, Mary Duong, P.A., and staff. 

Dr. Bob has updated his paper titled "TRT Case Reports: High Dose Testosterone Replacement therapy (TRT) and Prostate Cancer (CaP)", and the update is now available for download!  Check out Dr. Bob's other papers here.
