About Andreas Varkaris

Dr. Varkaris is a physician scientist at the Mass General Cancer Center and a dedicated member of the Termeer Center for Targeted Therapies. His career has been marked by a dual commitment to direct patient care and pioneering translational research. Half of his efforts are devoted to administering early clinical trials of investigational agents targeting growth factor receptor signaling (FGFR2, PIK3CA and KRAS) and apoptosis, while the remaining time is focused on unraveling mechanisms of resistance to these agents and developing rational combination therapies that may benefit patients.

    I was very impressed with Dr. Varkaris. He went over my whole situation with me in clear detail. In fact, it was more information than I had previously had about my tumor markers and it was all quite informative and I left feeling hopeful and feeling that maybe there would be something there that might be able to help me. But more testing was needed. So it's not definitive yet, but I just did in general feel good about the explanations I received from Dr. Varkaris. Thank you.
