Research

My research is primarily related to outcomes of the diseases I treat. I am especially focused on esophageal cancer and participate in an international esophagectomy complications consensus group. I have published extensively on minimally invasive esophageal resections. I was also recently the editor of a textbook, Master Techniques in Surgery: Thoracic Surgery, describing detailed techniques of thoracic surgery with an international group of authors.

I can see from the beginning the doctor didn't have any interest on helping me. He mentioned that the required test before any operation were so difficult and take so long that I can see he was trying to discourage any decision from me.
