Medical Oncologist
About Me
I am a medical oncologist who specializes in the treatment of malignancies of the gastrointestinal tract, including esophageal, stomach, colorectal, and pancreatic cancers. My research focuses on the development of new treatments for patients with esophageal and gastric cancers. I am particularly interested in exploring the combination of chemotherapy and radiation to treat cancers of the esophagus. I am also investigating the role that the immune system plays in controlling cancers of the esophagus and stomach to determine if we can harness the immune system to attack these cancers.
In addition to my work at Memorial Sloan Kettering, I am a member of the Noncolorectal Gastrointestinal Cancer Track for the Scientific Program Committee of the American Society of Clinical Oncology. I am privileged to serve as the Track Leader for 2015–2016.

Insurance
Most major health insurers offer plans that include MSK as one of their in-network providers. If MSK is in-network, it means all our doctors are too. Medicaid and New York State Medicare also provide benefits for care at MSK.
