Background and Philosophy

Dr. Richard Lee started his professional career conducting research in physiology, biochemistry, biophysics and breast cancer. He was interested in radiation oncology because he wanted to pursue medical work that would be connected to technology and physics. He joined the Cancer Center of Hawaii because it was a place that mirrored his values of always doing what is right for patients. He focuses on providing the latest treatments, technologies and improvements to advance cancer care for people in Hawaii.

Dr. Lee is a talented and knowledgeable radiation oncologist who has spent nearly two decades studying and practicing the treatment of cancer at Georgetown University, Virginia Commonwealth University and the University at Buffalo, SUNY. After gaining his M.D. and Ph.D. in physiology and biophysics, Dr. Lee served his residency at the first dedicated medical facility for cancer treatment and research in the U.S., the Roswell Park Cancer Institute. He served as Chief Resident in Radiation Medicine at Roswell, and received the Particle Theory Co-Operative Group Fellow Award in 2012. Since 2010, Dr. Lee has also been a reviewer for the Journal of Gastrointestinal Oncology and he is currently a Member of the American Society for Radiation Oncology (ASTRO). When he’s not fighting cancer, Dr. Lee enjoys playing tennis, golf and practicing the violin.
