Colorectal Surgical Oncologist
Moffitt Cancer Center
I am a colon and rectal surgical oncologist in the Department of Gastrointestinal Oncology at Moffitt Cancer Center in Tampa, Florida. My clinical and academic research has been focused on predicting, enhancing, and optimally identifying tumor response extent in localized rectal cancers receiving neoadjuvant therapies, in an effort to expand the proportion of patients that may safely defer or avoid rectal resection and follow a “Watch-and-Wait” rectal organ preserving management approach. Currently, I am a member of the Clinical Guidelines Committee for the American Society of Colon and Rectal Surgery, Society of Surgical Oncology Colorectal Disease Site Working Group, the National Comprehensive Cancer Network guidelines for Hereditary (Familial/Genetic) Colorectal Cancer, and Scientific Advisory Board for FORCE, a resource for patients with hereditary colorectal cancer.
I do not have any relevant financial / non-financial relationships with any proprietary interests.
