Rick Greene - Cancer, Podcasts and almost movie stardom

Frederick L Greene MD - Rick to his innumerable friends and colleagues - has been at the center of the cancer world for decades.  Known for his long-standing editorial role with the AJCC Staging Manual he served as Chair of the Commission on Cancer at the American College of Surgeons. He remains passionate about the role of Cancer Registries and most importantly, the Cancer Registrars themselves.  He still serves as the Medical Director of the Levine Cancer Center in Charlotte.

He was a founding member of SAGES and Past-President and has been an active media personality since starting his first radio show in his early teens.  He was a podcaster before there were such things and presents several podcasts on medical and surgical matters even today.  And no, he has no plans to give up any time soon.

What you might not know is that he was almost in the movies - Hollywood's loss eh!!  He could have been challenging Robert De Niro for top honors!
