Arvind N. Dasari, MD, MS

Department of Gastrointestinal Medical Oncology, Division of Cancer Medicine

About Dr. Dasari

Gastrointestinal cancers are the leading cause of cancer related mortality worldwide. Only incremental advances have been made in the treatment of these cancers at least in part due to lack of innovative and high impact clinical trials. I have a long standing interest in drug development for gastrointestinal cancers and have gained extensive experience in this area with a focus on neuroendocrine tumors and colorectal cancer. In my current position, I am positioned to serve as a principal investigator on several clinical trials in these malignancies.
