He has expertise in the multimodality treatment of cancer and collaborates with colleagues across Mayo Clinic to coordinate treatment plans integrating surgery, intralesional therapy, radiation, and systemic therapies (chemotherapy, endocrine therapy, immunotherapy). 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
  • Nipple-sparing mastectomy and oncoplastic breast surgery
