This week, we interview Dr Elias Chandran, a medical oncologist and emerging research juggernaut who is an assistant research physician at the National Cancer Institute in Bethesda, Maryland. His focus is on genitourinary cancer, and he has recently published a pivotal systematic review and meta-analysis titled "Mismatch repair deficiency and microsatellite instability-high in urothelial carcinoma: A systematic review and meta-analysis".

Dr Chandran is the epitome of a resilient clinician, having trained and worked in multiple countries and taking every opportunity granted to him. For any trainees or junior medical staff curious about oncology careers and how to make the most of your journey, Elias's story is one not to miss.
