Emmanouil P. Pappou, MD, PhD, FACS, FASCRS - MSK Colorectal Surgeon

Surgical oncology deals with the prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and follow-up of cancer using surgery—knife-in-hand precision against tumors. Near the sleek midtown towers at 160 E 53rd St sits one of Manhattan’s recognized centers in colorectal cancer care. The practice’s lead surgeon brings two decades of focused expertise to the field. Colorectal cancer treatment includes primary tumor removal, minimally invasive laparoscopic options, liver-metastasis resection, and adjuvant chemotherapy coordination. They handle complex cases like locally advanced rectal tumors, inflammatory bowel–related malignancies, and hereditary syndromes such as Lynch or FAP. Complex pelvic exenterations and robotic-assisted resections round out the surgical armamentarium. Call (347) 971-3808 to schedule or inquire about second opinions. Directions are one click away on the map. It’s the same block where the East Side meets Midtown but feels a universe apart.
