Biography (Eng)

Dr. Vlad Eniu is a resident physician in Medical Oncology at the “Prof. Dr. Ion Chiricuță” Oncology Institute in Cluj-Napoca. A graduate of the “Iuliu Hațieganu” University of Medicine and Pharmacy, he is currently pursuing a PhD at the same university on the integrative management of gynaecological cancers, under the supervision of Prof. Dr. Gabriel Kacsó.

Gynaecological oncology has drawn him since medical school, when he wrote his undergraduate thesis on “The Role of Surgery in Ovarian Cancer”. He spent his first years of residency in Obstetrics and Gynaecology, and that surgical experience now helps him see the oncology patient as a whole, from the operating theatre to systemic treatment.

He is a member of the European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO), the National Society of Medical Oncology of Romania (SNOMR), the European Society of Gynaecological Oncology (ESGO) and the European Society of Surgical Oncology (ESSO), as well as of the endoscopic surgery associations EAES and ARCE. He regularly attends the congresses of the international societies ESMO, ESGO and ESSO, as well as those of the Romanian Society of Gynaecological Oncology (SRGO). He has co-authored several scientific communications, including “Robotic Hysterectomy for Endometrial Carcinoma” (SRGO Congress, 2025) and “Surgery in Advanced Ovarian Cancer: TRUST Results Implementation in Romania” (Global Gynecologic Oncology Hub, 2026), and has served as a trainer in specialised workshops at the HEART, SARUS, Medicalis and TransMed conferences. As a student, he was active in the Romanian Surgical Students’ Society (SSCR) and coordinated the Scientific Department of the Medicalis Congress.

Outside the hospital, Vlad Eniu is a conductor. Since his first year of medical school, he has led the medical students’ orchestra and choir, today the “Victor Papilian” Doctors’ Orchestra and Choir, which carries on a tradition dating back to 1941. With them, he has given over 100 concerts in hospitals, at medical congresses and on the stages of Cluj. At the invitation of Prof. Dr. Simona Rednic, he teaches the elective course “Music and Medicine” at the “Iuliu Hațieganu” University, and in 2023 he received the “Iuliu Hațieganu” Grand Prize for promoting the connection between music and medicine. His musical activity is described on the Biography page.

Dr. Vlad Eniu believes that art makes medicine more human. He says music has taught him two things a doctor needs every day: to study with perseverance and to listen to people. And that makes you a better person and, therefore, a better doctor.
