“Specialty” makes a difference in patients’ cancer survival and outcomes. He considers himself, “super-specialized.” Dr. Riley has completed cancer and breast cancer fellowships after completing his general surgery training. Dr. Riley is passionate about finding a cure for cancer. In his freshman year of college, he learned that mice could be immunized with cancer. It was a breakthrough moment for him that led him to his MD, PHD, post-doctoral and two fellowships in cancer research. “I love taking care of people”. Someday, he would like to care for the poor in a place like Bangladesh, where people wait for days for medical care. “It would be an honor,” Dr. Riley said.
