Specialized doctors worldwide

Who is conducting research on colorectal cancer (metastatic)? Everyone here comes from a public registry: as the principal investigator of a study at ClinicalTrials.gov, or as the last author of publications in PubMed. These are two different things, so we list them in two columns side by side rather than combining them into a single number.

Where these doctors work
Click or hover over a dot to see who works there. 22 of the 75 physicians are on the map — we only place those who work at an institute whose city we know, and don't guess for the rest.

This is not a referral and not a judgment on care. We know nothing about how these people treat, whether they accept patients, or how to reach them. We do not display contact details. If you want a second opinion or a referral, go through your own specialist.
