Kun Jiang, MD, PhD

Cancer Focus:
Anal Cancer, Appendiceal (Appendix) Cancer, Cholangiocarcinoma (Bile Duct Cancer), Colon Cancer, Colorectal Cancer, Esophageal Cancer, Gallbladder Cancer, Gastrointestinal Carcinoid Tumor, GIST (Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumor), Liver (Hepatocellular) Cancer, Neuroendocrine Tumor, Pancreatic Cancer, Rectal Cancer, Small Intestine Cancer, Stomach (Gastric) Cancer

Dr. Jiang completed a surgical pathology and gastrointestinal pathology fellowships at Emory University School of Medicine. Dr. Jiang’s clinical interest is in gastrointestinal pathology, including both neoplastic diseases and medical/ infectious processes and pancreatobiliary and liver pathology, including neoplasms and medical liver diseases. His research interests are to identify tumor markers during cancer initiation and progression in gastrointestinal, hepatic and pancreatobiliary neoplasms, so as to aid in the diagnoses and prognostication of these diseases.
