Clinical
Interests:
I have a particular
interest in advanced endoscopic procedures and diagnostic
endoscopic oncology. We are involved in a number of studies
evaluating radiation and drug therapy of advanced adenocarcinomas
of the pancreas, stomach, and GE junction. In addition, I
have a special interest in esophageal cancer and neoadjuvant
therapy and there are a number of ongoing multisite clinical
studies that are evaluating new types of therapy for gastrointestinal
malignancies at Brown Medical School. We are also involved
in new technologies for endoscopic fundoplication and management
of pancreatico-biliary disease.
