Mark A. Schattner, MD, FASGE, AGAF - MSK Gastroenterologist

I am a medical oncologist who specializes in treating people with pancreatic cancer and bile duct cancers. I also care for people with other gastrointestinal cancers such as colon cancer, rectal cancer, and liver cancer. I see patients at the Rockefeller Outpatient Pavilion.

Memorial Sloan Kettering gastroenterologist Monika Laszkowska specializes in the prevention, early detection, and monitoring of gastrointestinal cancers. She has a special focus on stomach cancer and hereditary cancer syndromes.

I am a board-certified medical oncologist caring primarily for patients with pancreas, biliary, esophagogastric, and other gastrointestinal cancers. I work closely with a team of surgeons, radiation therapists, and other specialists to provide the best treatment and individualized care for each patient with these diseases. My research focuses on improving the delivery of care to patients and their families by optimally integrating cancer care with palliative medicine, which is a rapidly growing medical specialty aimed at reducing distress and maximizing quality living for people with serious illnesses like cancer.
