Dr. Martin is a faculty member of the University of Louisville James Graham Brown Cancer Center as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Surgery, Division of Surgical Oncology. Dr. Martin received his M.D. from the University of Louisville School of Medicine, and his B.S. from Georgetown University in Mathematics. Dr. Martin joined the staff at the James Graham Brown Cancer Center after completing a two year surgical oncology fellowship at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center. Dr. Martin's clinical interests are focused on the multiple disciplinary care and surgical management of patients with upper GI malignancies, including esophageal, gastric, duodenal, liver, biliary, and pancreatic cancers.
