Sherif R. Abdel-Misih, MD — Academic Profile

I am an Associate Professor of Surgery with a clinical focus on complex management of patients with gastrointestinal cancers. I aim to pursue more effective as well as less invasive surgical treatments when appropriate through innovation and research in order to achieve the goals of cancer disease control and potential cure. Additionally, I have focused on surgical education with goals to enhance and improve the surgical education of our future surgeons and physicians.
