Medical Specialties

Cancer, General Surgery

Medical Expertise

Pancreatic Surgery, Surgical Oncology, Gastrointestinal Surgery, Liver Cancer, Gastrointestinal Cancers, Robotic Surgery, Pancreatic Cancer, Colorectal Cancer

Clinical Responsibilities

My practice is limited to complex tumors of the liver, biliary tree, and pancreas. My particular expertise is in primary liver cancer (HCC), metastatic liver cancer, including metastatic colorectal cancer, pancreatic cancer, and tumors of the bile duct as well as complex bile duct reconstruction from iatorgenic injury. We employ cutting edge technology including RFA, robotic assisted surgery, along with anatomically based resections to achieve the best results. Our practice works closely with other specialists including medical oncology, interventional radiology, and radiation therapy to help our patients.

Research Interests

Our primary interests pertain to studying tumor immunology in cancers of the liver and pancreas. Our current projects include: (1) Understanding the role of resident hepatic myeloid dervied suppressor cells in regulating immune suppression within the liver in tumor bearing animals and facilitating the development of hepatic metastases. (2) We are studying the phenotypic and functional modification of tumor infiltrating dendritic cells in liver and pancreas cancer. (3) We are studying the direct immune modulating effects tumor infiltrating of myeloid derived suppressor cells on antigen presentation. (4) A long term project of our laboratory is to understand the alterations in immune function in states of hepatic cirrhosis and inflammation. Our lab is funded by grants from the National Institiutes of Health, the American Liver Foundation, the National Pancreas Foundation, and the Society of University Surgeons.
