Faculty

All surgeons in the Division are board-certified by the American Board of Surgery, with additional specialized training in surgical oncology. Each surgeon on our team further specializes in the treatment of a select group of malignancies. As a result, each patient receives clinical care tailored to his or her individual needs.

The Division's faculty has expertise in treating:

  • Breast disease (both benign and malignant)
  • Gastric and esophageal malignancies
  • Pancreatic tumors
  • Hepatobiliary disease
  • Primary and metastatic liver tumors
  • Colon and rectal cancer
  • Neuroendocrine tumors
  • Melanoma and sarcoma (extremity and retroperitoneal)
  • Palliative procedures

Our faculty also has experience and expertise performing many operations with minimal access techniques.

The Division is among nation's leaders in developing and implementing HIPEC and HAIP treatments.
