WELCOME TO COMPASSIONATE ONCOLOGY

Dr. Bob has been treating cancer patients since 1970.

In 1967, when Dr. Bob was a 2nd 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 the past 40 plus years, Dr. Bob has contributed to the 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 U.S. Trademark Office issued trademark registrations for Triple Hormone Blockade®, Triple Androgen Blockade® and Finasteride Maintenance® as brand names 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.
