Get to Know Dr. Gregory Peter Kalemkerian

Medical oncologist Dr. Gregory Kalemkerian has been treating patients at the University of Michigan Rogel Cancer Center for more than 20 years, specializing in thoracic malignancies and a personalized approach.

He is known for using targeted therapy and cutting-edge, scientific advances in designing a treatment plan for each patient.

“There is no one ‘right,’ treatment for every patient,” he said. “It has to be geared toward the individual. It’s important for patients to take an active role in their care and understand what’s going on with their body and their treatment.”

Kalemkerian also serves as associate division chief for Faculty Development and Education and disease group lead for the Upper Aerodigestive Cancer Team at Michigan Medicine.

He was part of a national team of experts who published “Lung Cancer Treatment Guidelines for Patients,” which has helped families across the country make treatment decisions. He has authored more than 50 publications on thoracic oncology.

Much of his clinical practice involves lung cancer, pleural mesothelioma, thymic cancer and thymoma.
