Abstract

The Thoracic and Gastrointestinal Malignancies Branch (TGMB) and Surgical Oncology Program (SOP) have a number of ongoing clinical trials for patients with mesothelin-expressing malignancies. I participate as an Associate Investigator on these trials by seeing trial patients and assessing patient clinical response to therapy. Training new researchers is an important part of the NCI mission. I provide instruction to CCR Medical Oncology fellows that rotate through the GI and Thoracic clinics. I participate in GI Cancer Journal Clubs and also in Foregut Tumor Board which is an interbranch conference for clinicians interested in GI malignancies. I organize an interdisciplinary pancreas cancer journal club monthly for the Pancreatic Cancer Interest Group.
