I am a surgical oncologist with expertise in the management of cancers of the pancreas, liver, bile ducts, stomach, and esophagus. My research interests include prediction of occult malignancy in pancreatic cysts, organ-preserving surgery for early gastric cancer, and novel methods of communication, evaluation, and instruction in surgical education.
