About Me

I am a Medical Oncologist dedicated to advancing cancer care through evidence-based treatments, clinical practice, and scientific research.

With extensive experience in oncology, I have worked across multiple healthcare institutions in Moldova, including NovamedNord Multispecialty Hospital, Medpark International Hospital, and Clinical Hospital Bălți. My expertise spans medical oncology, surgical oncology, and oncological diagnostics, with a strong foundation built through my Residency in Oncology at Nicolae Testemițanu State University of Medicine and Pharmacy.

Beyond clinical practice, I am actively involved in scientific research, international training, and professional collaborations. My research interests focus on tumor genetics, innovative treatment methods, and oncological diagnostics, and I have contributed to numerous oncology conferences, published scientific articles, and hold a patent for a surgical hemostasis method. I continuously enhance my expertise through specialized training, such as the Tru-Cut Biopsy Training at the European Institute of Oncology (IEO) and certifications from the American Society of Radiologic Technologists (ASRT).

As a member of the European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO), I stay at the forefront of developments in cancer research and treatment, striving to integrate the latest advancements into patient care.

Through this blog, I aim to share insights into oncology, new treatment approaches, and professional experiences, contributing to the medical community and beyond. Whether you are a fellow medical professional, a patient, or someone interested in oncology, I hope you find valuable information here.
