The SUNY Downstate Department of Surgery had the pleasure of hosting a Grand Rounds session with Garrett Nash MD, MPH, FACS, FASCRS,  the Vice Chair for Quality and Safety of Memorial Sloan Kettering's Department of Surgery.

Dr. Nash is the primary investigator for the ICARuS Trial (Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy After cytoReductive Surgery), a randomized clinical trial investigating the efficacy of intraperitoneal chemotherapy for metastatic appendiceal and colorectal cancer. The trial's primary goal was to measure the efficacy of intraperitoneal chemotherapy for appendix cancer and was the first randomized trial of intraperitoneal chemotherapy for colorectal cancer in the United States.

Dr. Nash specializes in Colon & Rectal Surgery, with a special focus on treating cancer of the colon, rectum, peritoneal surface, and appendix.  He has received numerous awards for his excellence as a surgeon and researcher - authoring papers on cytoreductive and minimally invasive surgery, mechanisms of tumor progression, and predictors of surgical outcomes. Dr. Nash also runs the NYC marathon yearly to raise funds for cancer research.

We are grateful to Dr. Nash for sharing his knowledge and expertise with our SUNY Downstate Department of Surgery team.
