About Dr. Katherine Morris

My two-year fellowship at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center (MSKCC) in New York, one of the world's leading cancer centers, emphasized the surgeon's role in the multidisciplinary treatment of cancer. I have worked with the masters of the field helping patients with complex pancreas, endocrine, soft tissue, colon, breast, and skin cancers.

My interest in cancer surgery grew during my medical training. After completing a mathematics degree at the University of Washington I studied medicine at Oregon Health and Science University (OHSU). I was drawn to the discipline of surgery, and was particularly affected by my rotations in cancer surgery. I found the patients' stories, concerns, triumphs, and heartbreak inspiring. During my seven years of general surgery residency at OHSU I chose to do two years of research in surgical oncology. I continued my training as a surgical oncologist with my post-residency fellowship at MSKCC.
