Background

A board-certified medical oncologist, Bradley C. Carthon, MD, PhD, works with the genitourinary oncology team at Winship Cancer Institute in order to discover novel therapeutic targets and carry out clinical trials that utilize novel treatment combinations for our patients with prostate, bladder and renal and other genitourinary malignancies.

Dr. Carthon is a professor in Emory University School of Medicine's Department of Hematology and Medical Oncology. He also serves as section chief of hematology and oncology at Winship Cancer Institute at Emory Midtown.

Dr. Carthon previously served as medical director of inpatient medical oncology at Winship Cancer Institute's Clifton Campus during a period of notable growth in staffing and patient volume. He also previously served as chair of Winship Cancer Institute's Health Disparities, Health Literacy and Minority Accrual Committee. He is a former participant in the Emory University School of Medicine Professional Leadership Enrichment and Development Program.

Dr. Carthon earned his medical degree from Harvard Medical School in Boston, Massachusetts. He completed an internship and residency at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston, Massachusetts.
