Get to Know Dr. Laura A. Lambert

Surgical oncologist Dr. Laura Lambert has extensive experience in treating patients with peritoneal mesothelioma, the rare cancer that starts in the abdominal lining but often spreads to surrounding organs.

She specializes in performing hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemoperfusion, known as HIPEC, in combination with cytoreductive surgery for several types of abdominal cancers.

The combination has increased survival significantly for patients with peritoneal surface malignancies, such as mesothelioma.

At Perlmutter Cancer Center at NYU Langone Surgical Oncology Associates, Lambert leads the region’s most comprehensive multidisciplinary cancer program. Specialists across disciplines collaborate to develop a personalized care plan for each patient.

It can be used for cancers of the appendix and colon, along with the management of gynecologic malignancies.

Lambert previously worked at the University of Massachusetts, where she led the formation of the UMass Appendiceal Cancer Research Group.
