Tanios S. Bekaii-Saab

Tanios S. Bekaii-Saab, MD, has been named the section chief of gastrointestinal oncology at The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center — James Cancer Hospital and Solove Research Institute.

Bekaii-Saab will oversee the clinical and research operations for the gastrointestinal oncology program. He also will be responsible for recruiting additional physicians who specialize in treating patients with liver, pancreas, gastro-esophageal and colorectal cancers.

“Under Tony’s leadership, the section of gastrointestinal oncology will continue to grow, allowing the OSUCCC–James to provide more specialized care for our cancer patients while also expanding opportunities for collaborative clinical and translational research,” Michael A. Caligiuri, MD, director of OSUCCC and CEO of The James, said in a press release.

Bekaii-Saab, an associate professor in Ohio State’s College of Medicine and a HemOnc Today Editorial Board member, specializes in treating patients with gastrointestinal malignancies, including pancreatic, liver and colon cancers. He has served as chairman for the gastrointestinal cancer disease specific research group at OSUCCC-James since 2003.
