Expertscape, a web platform that identifies and objectively ranks physicians and researchers that excel in the treatment and diagnosis of specific disease states, has released their rankings for US physicians who specialize in breast cancer.
Using Expertscape’s patented algorithm, Hope Rugo, MD, of University of California San Francisco Helen Diller Family Comprehensive Cancer Center, is at the top of an esteemed list of experts. Among her many publications in 2020, Dr. Rugo contributed, along with fellow physicians Eric Winer, MD, of Dana Farber Cancer Center and Lisa Carey, MD, of University of North Carolina Linberger Comprehensive Cancer Center, to the 5th ESO-ESMO international consensus guidelines for advanced breast cancer.
