Jason M. Foster, MD trained in general surgery at Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, Ohio. Following his residency, Dr. Foster completed surgical oncology training at Roswell Park Cancer Institute in Buffalo, New York. After finishing this SSO-accredited fellowship, he joined the staff at Creighton University in the Surgical Oncology Division in 2005. In 2010, he joined the University of Nebraska Medical Center in the Division of Surgical Oncology.
Dr. Foster treats a broad range of malignant diseases including cancer of the gastrointestinal tract, endocrine organs, soft tissue sarcomas, skin tumors, and peritoneal-based malignancies. Although he performs general surgery, he limits his practice to oncologic diseases, except for general surgery conditions that arise in his oncology patients or by special requests for complex general surgery conditions of the GI tract, such as pancreatic pseudocysts, benign biliary strictures, and advanced laparoscopy and endoscopy. Dr. Foster is also actively involved in clinical and basic science research for peritoneal surface malignancies and gastrointestinal cancer.
Dr. Foster is one of a very small number of surgical oncologists in the United States practicing HIPEC, or hot chemotherapy, which is used to treat cancers of the appendix, ovaries, and colon, as well as mesothelioma.
