“He was visionary, brilliant, an optimist, a futurist, a family-first wonderful person, generous beyond compare, and someone that I respected and admired tremendously. All our hearts sank with the news. I will miss Felix Feng every day. I already do.”

Quoting NRG Oncology‘s post:

“We are deeply saddened by the loss of former NRG GU Cancer Committee Chair, Dr. Felix Feng. Our thoughts are with his family and friends during this difficult time.
