    Dr. Gregory Allen is a thoracic medical oncologist, a specialist is the use of chemotherapy and other medications to treat cancers in the chest. He cares for patients with lung cancer and other conditions of the lungs, chest or esophagus.

    Allen's research focuses on developing and investigating the use of engineered immune cells to target and treat cancer.

    Allen earned his medical and doctoral degrees in Stanford Medicine's Medical Scientist Training Program. He completed an internal medicine residency at Johns Hopkins Medicine, followed by a fellowship in medical oncology at UCSF.

    Altmetrics Details PMC Citations indicate the number of times the publication was cited by articles in PubMed Central, and the Altmetric score represents citations in news articles and social media. (Note that publications are often cited in additional ways that are not shown here.) Fields are based on how the National Library of Medicine (NLM) classifies the publication's journal and might not represent the specific topic of the publication. Translation tags are based on the publication type and the MeSH terms NLM assigns to the publication. Some publications (especially newer ones and publications not in PubMed) might not yet be assigned Field or Translation tags.) Click a Field or Translation tag to filter the publications.
