About Zachary Stiles

Biography:

I am a surgical oncologist with the Roswell Park Care Network. I focus on diseases of the hepatobiliary and gastrointestinal tracts, both malignant and benign.

I completed general surgery residency at the University of Tennessee Health Science Center (UTHSC), the largest academic medical network in Memphis, Tennessee. During residency I also completed a two-year research fellowship at the UTHSC Cancer Research Center focusing on the translational applications of mucin and micro-RNA expression in pancreatic cancer. In addition, I also obtained a Master's in Science in Epidemiology from the UTHSC College of Graduate Health Sciences. Following residency I then completed a fellowship in Complex General Surgical Oncology at Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center.

My clinical research focuses on the application of minimally invasive approaches to complex oncologic operations and the use of large datasets to study disease and surgical outcomes.
