Oncology

The Oncology Team Delegation has been a dedicated group of professionals providing management care for a variety of area ranging from managing depression and anxiety for cancer patients as well new treatments for lung cancer, lymphoma, and leukemia.

MEET is excited about opportunities for future collaborations with CTOH and CTUMP. As MEET’s Oncology Project leader, Dr. Kelly Smith is planning on organizing online monthly oncology case conferences and in-person workshops several times a year. Kelly has agreed to stay a second year in Vietnam continuing to provide Oncology support in Hanoi and CanTho.

We are looking for volunteers with experience in oncology. Please contact contact Dr. Kelly Smith if you are interested in getting involved.

Introducing our new MEET Oncology Project Leader - Dr. Kelly Smith

We are happy to announce Dr. Kelly Smith has volunteered to become our MEET Oncology Project Leader. Kelly is a medical oncologist trained at UW, now working for Univ. of Pennsylvania in collaboration with Vin Mec Hospital and Vin University in Hanoi to develop oncology care and education. Kelly has been living in Hanoi for a year.  She contacted MEET a couple of months ago inquiring about volunteer opportunities with MEET to improve oncology care for poor people. We have introduced Kelly to several MEET Projects Leaders working on projects involving cancer care, including Anh and Cyrus (regarding their hospice teaching projects), Hubert (regarding oncology imagining and nuclear medicine) and Helen (regarding social work). And we've told her about other Project Leaders doing work impacting cancer patients, including Hung (ENT cancer surgery), Steve (radiation therapy), Jacqui (anesthesiology), Susan (nutrition) and Connie (cervical cancer). Please feel free to contact Kelly directly to discuss possible collaborations with you and your project teams.
