Get to know Hematologist-Oncologist Dr. Geoffrey P. Shouse, who serves patients in Duarte, California.

Well-versed in the field of hematology/oncology, Dr. Shouse is affiliated with the City of Hope Comprehensive Cancer Center in Duarte, California. He specializes in lymphoma, hematopoietic cell transplantation, and clinical cellular immunotherapy.

The doctor’s fascination with molecular biology led him to hematology and oncology as a career. He focuses his research on targeted therapies for lymphoma that recurs or resists chemotherapy treatment. He cares deeply about each of his patients, and he’s eager to continue his work at City of Hope.

“In no other field can a set of molecular changes unique to one tumor, unique to one patient, be identified within a matter of days to allow for the optimal chance at cure. In no other field, can the immune system be utilized to make a previously incurable disease something that can be conquered” expressed Dr. Shouse.

Before embarking on his professional journey, he received his Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine degree from the Western University of Health Sciences College of Osteopathic Medicine of the Pacific. He earned his Doctor of Philosophy degree in cell, molecular and developmental biology at the University of California, Riverside. He continued his training at UC Riverside, Loma Linda University Medical Center and City of Hope, where he completed a fellowship in bone marrow transplant.

Hematology is the branch of medicine concerned with the study of the cause, prognosis, treatment, and prevention of diseases related to blood. Oncology is a branch of medicine that deals with the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of cancer. A hematologist-oncologist is a physician who specializes in the diagnosis, treatment, or prevention of cancer, malignant blood diseases such as leukemia, lymphoma, and multiple myeloma, and blood disorders such as iron-deficiency anemia, clotting abnormalities, hemophilia, and sickle-cell disease.
