Hello from New York! We are with Dr. Marc Lippman, an eminent expert on the endocrine treatment of breast cancer. We will discuss hormonal treatment of breast cancer.

Dr. Marc Lippman is a Professor of Oncology and Medicine at Georgetown University in Washington, DC. Dr. Anton Titov, MD.: Professor Lippman is a pioneer in the endocrine treatment of breast cancer. He holds board certifications in endocrinology and metabolism and medical oncology.

Dr. Marc Lippman obtained his MD from Yale University and did a residency in medicine at Johns Hopkins University and a fellowship in endocrinology at Yale University and at NIH.

Dr. Lippman's interest in the rigorous science of endocrinology, coupled with his practical interest in improving breast cancer treatment, has set him on a remarkable path of discovery and many distinguished leadership academic positions.

Dr. Lippman was Head of the Medical Breast Cancer Section at the NIH, Professor, and Chair of Internal Medicine at the University of Michigan, Professor of Medicine and Chair of Medicine Department at the University of Miami, and Deputy Director of the Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center at the University of Miami. He was also a Professor of Medicine and Pharmacology and Chair, Department of Oncology, at Georgetown University in Washington.

Professor Marc Lippman published over 400 articles in peer-reviewed medical journals in oncology and has received numerous national and international awards for his works on endocrine aspects of breast cancer. I also strongly recommend reading Dr. Lippman's autobiographical note called "Chaos theory and a career in medicine," which you can find online.
