Get to Know Dr. Daniel Labow
Dr. Daniel M. Labow, a native of Canada, received his medical degree from Brown University after attending the University of Pennsylvania. He did a surgical residency at University of Chicago and completed a surgical oncology fellowship at Memorial Sloan Kettering in New York. He joined Mount Sinai Medical Center, which includes both the hospital and school of medicine, in 2004.
Just a few years later, he started the hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy program in 2007 at Mount Sinai Medical Center in New York, and has watched the program grow rapidly with success stories that include mesothelioma patients.
“It is not the one silver bullet that everyone wants to find, and it doesn’t apply to everyone,” Labow told Asbestos.com. “But, it certainly has become an important part of treatment for many.”
Labow uses HIPEC with cytoreductive surgery on patients with mesothelioma, colorectal cancer, stomach cancer, cancer of the appendix, ovarian cancer and other cancers confined to the peritoneal cavity.
He spends much of his time working on the diagnosis and treatment of primary and metastatic malignancies, including gastric and esophageal cancer and pancreatic and liver malignancies. He has worked extensively with minimally invasive surgical techniques.
Labow has performed close to 200 HIPEC procedures since starting the program at Mount Sinai.
