Congratulations to Rachel Brem, M.D., director of the GW Comprehensive Breast Care Center and professor of radiology; James Ahlgren, M.D., professor of medicine and pharmacology and physiology; and Jeffrey Lin, M.D., clinical professor of obstetrics and gynecology, who were included on the list.

“This acknowledgement reiterates our commitment to cutting-edge cancer treatment here at GW,” said Eduardo Sotomayor, M.D., Ph.D., director of the GW Cancer Center. “We could not be more thrilled that these physicians received the recognition they deserve.”

Patients in the Washington, D.C. area benefit from leading care in breast cancer, breast imaging, MRI-breast, carcinoid tumors, gastrointestinal cancer, neuroendocrine tumors, cervical cancer, gynecologic cancers, and ovarian cancer.
