Katherine A. Morgan, MD

About Me

As a hepatobiliary and pancreatic surgeon at NYU Langone, I am dedicated to providing personalized, patient-centered care. My passion for this field stems from the challenges and opportunities it presents, particularly in the treatment of pancreatic cancer. This disease has seen significant advancements in treatment options, offering new hope and optimism for patients. I am honored to be part of this evolving landscape, working alongside a multidisciplinary team to deliver comprehensive and coordinated care.

I specialize in the surgical management of both cancerous and benign diseases of the pancreas, bile ducts, gallbladder, and liver. My interests lie in pancreatic cancer and chronic pancreatitis. I employ advanced surgical techniques, including robotic pancreatectomy, vascular reconstruction in borderline resectable and locally advanced pancreatic cancer, NanoKnife ablation, and total pancreatectomy with islet autotransplantation for chronic pancreatitis. These innovative approaches aim to improve patient outcomes, alleviate pain, and enhance overall quality of life.

Throughout my career, I have been committed to proactive healthcare engagement and research. I am involved in developing and implementing the newest treatments and clinical trials, such as cancer vaccines, immunotherapy, and genetic studies. My work is driven by a desire to make a meaningful difference in the lives of my patients, ensuring they receive the best possible care through a collaborative, multidisciplinary approach.

My journey into medicine was profoundly influenced by a personal experience early in my career. I had the privilege of caring for my surgeon mentor who developed pancreatic cancer. Supporting her through this challenging time was incredibly impactful and inspired me to dedicate my career to this field. I pursued my medical education with a focus on hepatobiliary and pancreatic diseases, and I am proud to bring my expertise to NYU Langone. Here, I collaborate with a team of specialists at Perlmutter Cancer Center, striving to provide the highest standard of care for our patients.
