Overview Research Interests:
Dr. Whalen's clinical interests include GI tract tumors (gastroesophageal, hepatobilliary, pancreatic, colorectal), endcocrine tumors (thyroid, parathyroid, adrenal), melanoma and sarcoma.
In particular, the patterns, processes and control of metastases from solid tumors are of interest to Dr. Whalen. Areas of potential research collaboration also include studies of patient outcomes, particularly QOL for surgical cancer “cures” and survivorship surveillance strategies.
Other research areas for Dr. Whalen include adjuvant immunotherapy for surgically treated cancers and palliative surgical care.
