Uri Ladabaum
Gastroenterologist, Geneticist, Cancer geneticist, General gastroenterologist
Dr. Ladabaum's research focus is colorectal cancer risk management and prevention, including screening, risk stratification, and management of average-risk as well as high-risk populations, including persons with Lynch syndrome. His clinical efforts include providing consultation and screening and surveillance endoscopic services for average risk and high-risk persons, and caring for patients and families with suspected or established inherited cancer predisposition syndromes, including Lynch syndrome and polyposis syndromes. In addition, Dr. Ladabaum provides general gastroenterology consultation and endoscopic services.
Dr. Ladabaum's research program spans a range of methods and approaches including epidemiological studies, observational and interventional clinical studies, systematic reviews, decision analyses and health economic evaluations. Current efforts include exploring colorectal cancer screening tailored to risk, and enhancing the uptake of genetic testing and preventive interventions.
