Overview
Overview
Dr. Van Dam specializes in treating patients with pancreatic, esophageal, gastric or colorectal cancer. He also specializes in treating patients with precancerous conditions, including pancreatic cystic neoplasms, Barrett’s esophagus, and colonic polyps. Dr. Van Dam’s clinical expertise is in diagnostic and therapeutic gastrointestinal endoscopy, advanced interventional endoscopy, endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP), endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS), endoscopic laser surgery, and advanced endoscopic imaging, including confocal microendoscopy and optical biopsy.
Dr. Van Dam will oversee the expansion of clinical gastroenterological services at USC and will direct the design and construction of two new endoscopy facilities. The new hospital-based facility will be the heart of USC’s state-of-the-art center for advanced/therapeutic endoscopy. The second, a large ambulatory facility, will evaluate and treat patients with a variety of digestive disorders in a relaxed, family-friendly environment. Dr. Van Dam is coordinating the recruitment of specialists to lead several new centers of excellence in areas of tertiary care.
For the past 20 years, Dr. Van Dam has been internationally recognized for his numerous advances in the field of interventional endoscopy, his significant contributions to scientific literature, and his leadership in developing training programs for young physician scientists.
