Research Interests:
My interests are in the epidemiology, diagnosis, staging, and treatment of esophageal cancer and Barrett's esophagus, including high-grade dysplasia. Current projects include:
1. Assessing disparities in the incidence of esophageal cancer across the state of Maryland
2. Reviewing the University of Maryland experience in endosonographic staging of esophageal cancer from 1997 to 2003
3. Assessing molecular markers in esophageal cancer and their potential use as prognosticators
