He went on to work as a medical oncologist at the Clinical Practices of the University of Pennsylvania before joining the Fox Chase Cancer Center in 2009.

A National Cancer Institute (NCI)-designated Comprehensive Cancer Center, Fox Chase is nationally recognized for its leadership in medical, radiation and surgical oncology.

Multidisciplinary Approach

Lubiniecki takes a personalized, multidisciplinary approach to treatment. This means he and a diverse team of cancer specialists and health care team members work closely with each patient to meet his or her individual needs. He stresses the importance of effective communication between the doctor and patient, as well as between all the members of the patient’s care team.

Mesothelioma treatment begins with an accurate diagnosis. After the cancer is located with advanced imaging techniques or biopsy, Lubiniecki then identifies the tumor’s defining characteristics. This helps determine how the cancer will respond to different chemotherapy drugs. Further, this approach helps Lubiniecki and his team improve future treatments by pinpointing the tumor types that are resistant to specific drugs or a combination of several.

In addition totreating mesothelioma and lung cancer, Lubiniecki is also an active researcher. He strives to offer only the latest treatment options with the highest chance of success and minimal side effects.
