Innovations in surgical oncology at Baylor University Medical Center, 1987-2007
Joseph A. Kuhn, MD, Tammy Fisher, RN, and Sheryl Livingston, RN
It is a great pleasure to review clinical and research contributions in the field of surgical oncology under the leadership and guidance of Dr. Ronald C. Jones. Upon his arrival at Baylor, Dr. Jones encouraged resident research, allowed for recruitment of dedicated research nurses, and encouraged participation in cooperative group trials. He served as a mentor and leader for the surgical staff, who became active in research trials involving breast cancer, melanoma, esophageal cancer, colon cancer, liver cancer, pancreas cancer, and head and neck and endocrine cancer. The improvements in each disease state can best be seen by considering the changes in modern management brought about in part through the clinical and research efforts of the staff and residents in the Department of Surgery.
