Clinical Interests:
My major clinical
interests in Gastroenterology involve the use of endoscopic
ultrasonography and endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography
for the diagnosis and treatment of patients with gastrointestinal
disorders. With the use of endoscopic ultrasonography, we
are able to more accurately stage patients with common gastrointestinal
malignancies. I have been involved in a number of research
studies evaluating the efficacy of endoscopic ultrasonography.
In particular, these research efforts have been directed at
the staging of esophageal cancer as well as cystic neoplasms
of the pancreas. My other primary area of interest lies in
the management of hepatobiliary disorders such as common bile
duct stones, biliary strictures and hepatobiliary malignancies.
