Dr. Hassan Jaafar is a consultant medical oncologist with over 25 years of clinical experience treating solid tumors and blood cancers. He trained in internal medicine starting in 1994, then completed a fellowship in hematology and oncology from the American University of Beirut Medical Centre in 2000. Since relocating to the UAE that year, he has held senior positions at Tawam Hospital (affiliated with Johns Hopkins University) and Sheikh Khalifa Specialty Hospital in Ras Al Khaimah, where he also served as an adjunct assistant professor of internal medicine at the United Arab Emirates University.
Dr. Jaafar's main clinical interests are breast cancer, gynecological cancers, lung cancer, colorectal cancer, and sarcomas. He is an active researcher and has published extensively in peer-reviewed oncology journals on topics ranging from breast cancer epidemiology and treatment in the UAE to lung cancer diagnostics and management across the Middle East and North Africa region. His work spans adjuvant therapy, metastatic disease, and supportive care for multicultural cancer patients.
He is a strong fit for patients seeking specialist care in solid-tumor oncology, particularly those with complex breast or lung cancers, and for those who value a clinician with deep research expertise and experience managing cancer in diverse Middle Eastern populations.
Special interests: cancer epidemiology in the Middle East and North Africa, targeted therapy and molecular diagnostics, neoadjuvant and adjuvant breast cancer treatment, supportive care in multicultural populations.
