In my more than four-decade career as a thoracic surgeon at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center, I have had the privilege of caring for thousands of individuals with lung, mesothelioma, and esophageal cancers.

I divide my time between caring for these patients and preparing the next generation of medical professionals to handle these cancers with compassion and expertise — both in the clinic and in the operating room. I also hold an appointment at Weill Cornell Medical College as Professor of Clinical Cardiothoracic Surgery.

I am a member of the Thoracic Disease Management Team at Memorial Sloan-Kettering, which is actively involved in exploring topics such as how a tumor’s molecular characteristics impact a patient’s response to treatment. I have been responsible for creating innovative techniques in the surgical treatment of thoracic malignancies, including chest wall reconstruction with methyl methacrylate prosthesis.
