Since joining the staff at MGH, Dr. Lee has been engaged in translational studies of circulating tumor cells (CTCs) from peripheral blood, using a new technology developed at MGH. Our hope is that this "CTC-Chip" may have clinical usefulness for cancer patients. In addition to seeing patients, Dr. Lee is also interested in clinical trials of new drugs to treat genitourinary cancers.

Dr. Richard Lee was personable and extremely intelligent.
Richard Lee was exceptional. He greeted me. He knew my case. I brought my two sons. He was very helpful in explaining to them. One was not a doctor. The other was, I'm a physician. And he made things very clear, and I loved the experience, and I plan to use Mass General from now on for my health care.
Excellent in every way!
