John L. Cameron, M.D.

Dr. John L. Cameron is the Alfred Blalock Distinguished Service Professor of Surgery at The Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. For nineteen years he served as the Chief of Surgery at The Johns Hopkins Hospital. His major interest for many years has been diseases of the pancreas and biliary tree, and in recent years he has been specifically interested in the surgical management of cancer of the pancreas and biliary tree.

Pancreaticoduodenectomy, or the Whipple procedure, is the only curative therapy for pancreatic cancer and for many bile duct cancers. Dr. Cameron has had extensive experience with this surgical procedure, and has probably performed more of these operations than any other surgeon in the world since its introduction in 1935.
