About this book
Hepato-Pancreato-Biliary cancers are increasing in incidence, with pancreatic cancer now accounting for the third most cancer deaths in the United States. Typically these malignancies, as a group, are managed by the same key providers comprising a multidisciplinary team.
This book is intended to provide a comprehensive review of the current knowledge in the field of hepato-pancreato-biliary malignancies, focusing on the practical and clinical care of patients. We take the approach of combining the collective expertise of an interventional gastroenterologist and a hepato-pancreato-biliary surgeon to provide the readers with accurate, succinct, and pragmatic information needed to formulate the most appropriate treatment plan for their patients with the aim of the best possible outcome.
Managing patients with these cancers continues to be challenging because of continued dismal survival rates. Each section in this text is written by experts in their respective field, summarizing the most state-of-the-art, contemporary diagnostic and therapeutic tools available in the field. We believe this book will prove to be an invaluable, comprehensive resource for all members of the multidisciplinary team caring for patients with hepato-pancreato-biliary malignancies.

Dr. Doria was a major contributor to the start-up of the European Medical Division of the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center, which resulted in a cultural and scientific cooperative agreement between the University of Pittsburgh and the University of Palermo - Italy.

From 1999 to 2003, Dr Doria, was the clinical leader of IsMeTT.
At Thomas Jefferson University Hospital in Philadelphia, PA, he served as the surgical director of the Sidney Kimmel Cancer Center – Jefferson Liver Tumor Center at Jefferson Medical College, and director of the Jefferson Transplant Institute.

Dr. Doria received his medical degree at University of Perugia School of Medicine in Italy, where he also completed his internship and residency. He completed a research fellowship and a clinical fellowship in multi-organ transplant surgery at the Pittsburgh Transplantation Institute, part of the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine in Pittsburgh, PA.

Dr. Doria is a 2016 Temple Fox School of Business graduate.
Dr. Doria is currently the Medical Director of the Cancer Center at Capital Health in Pennington, NJ. During the first three years of his tenure at Capital Health, under Dr. Doria’s leadership, the net revenue of the cancer center increased in excess of 25% every year.

He has helped developing and introducing a number of innovative procedures to treat cancer patients that were not previously available, including bloodless liver surgery, ex-vivo liver resection with liver auto-transplantation and robotic-assisted hepato-pancreato-biliary surgery. He completed the first robotic assisted Whipple procedure in the State of New Jersey.Dr. Jason N. Rogart
