Brian Hemendra Ramnaraign, MD| Hematology and Oncology, Medical Oncology | MedStar Health
About me
Brian Ramnaraign, MD, is board-certified in hematology, medical oncology, geriatric medicine, and internal medicine who practices at MedStar Franklin Square Cancer Center at the Loch Raven Campus. His areas of expertise include treating all types of cancers, with a particular focus on bladder, kidney, prostate, and gastrointestinal cancers such as colorectal and pancreas. He is dedicated to developing personalized treatment plans for older patients diagnosed with cancer, many of whom have complex medical histories and other comorbidities.
As a seasoned investigator, Dr. Ramnaraign is committed to improving cancer treatments through numerous clinical trials. His ongoing research is centered on genitourinary and gastrointestinal cancers, with a strong interest in exploring the role of targeted therapies and immunotherapies to provide personalized treatments for individuals with advanced cancers.
Philosophy of care
