Convenient access to world-class cancer care has been greatly enhanced for residents of the East Bay with the opening of a Lifespan Cancer Institute location in Bristol.
Peter Barth, MD, a hematologist/oncologist with the Lifespan Cancer Institute, is now seeing patients at the Bristol County Medical Center, 1180 Hope St.
Dr. Barth diagnoses and treats all types of cancers and specializes in the treatment of benign and malignant blood disorders. He completed his residency at Temple University Hospital in Philadelphia and his fellowship at Rhode Island Hospital with Brown University.

He is a member of the American Society of Hematology, the American Society of Clinical Oncology, the International Myeloma Society and the American Medical Association.
“We are excited to bring the Lifespan Cancer Institute’s top-notch care for cancer to Bristol, making high quality oncology care even more accessible to individuals in Rhode Island and southeastern Massachusetts,” said David Wazer, MD, director of the institute and a leading radiation oncologist. “Lifespan Cancer Institute has undergone tremendous growth in recent years. We have been actively recruiting some of the nation’s foremost clinicians and researchers and greatly expanding the number and diversity of clinical trials we can offer our patients, including promising and newly emerging immunotherapies.”
