Summary
- My primary clinical focus is the on treatment of patients in the Mesothelioma Treatment Center at Baylor College of Medicine. Additionally, I treat patients with all thoracic cancers including lung cancer, esophageal cancer, thymic cancers, and metastatic disease. I utilize robotic surgery to minimize the size of surgical incisions whenever feasible. Also, I focus on chest wall surgery including Slipping Rib Syndrome. Our research laboratory studies tumor metabolism to increase tumor susceptible to therapy.
