He is dedicated to optimizing oncologic outcomes within a patient-centered framework. Special interests include:

  • Lymph node surgery including sentinel lymph node biopsy
  • Intralesional therapy for melanoma
  • Metastasectomy for melanoma
  • Neoadjuvant therapy for melanoma and breast cancer
