He also specializes in minimally invasive surgery for esophageal cancer, performing more than 300 minimally invasive esophagectomies during his tenure at the University of Pittsburgh and co-authoring the largest series of minimally invasive esophagectomies for cancer worldwide. Alvelo-Rivera is interested in biological therapies for cancer, palliative procedures for advanced cancer and early lung detection and screening.

    Dr. John Tourtelot joins the Moffitt team in the endocrine program. He received his medical degree from the University of Miami and completed post-graduate training at the Naval Hospital. His specialties include diabetes, metabolism, endocrinology and internal medicine.

    Dr. Jennifer Giglia is the newest addition to the gastrointestinal oncology department. She received her master’s degree and completed an internal medicine residency at the University of South Florida.

    Dr. Elizabeth Sagatys, a new addition to the department of hematopathology and lab medicine, comes from USF after receiving her master’s degree in 2003. She completed an anatomic and clinical pathology residency, and an oncologic surgical pathology and hematopathology fellowship at Moffitt. Her clinical research interests involve immune recognition and the T cell response to lymphoma.

    Dr. Jennifer Cultrera will be involved in the treatment of patients with lymphomas, as her research interests focus in clinical trials and translational studies for patients with aggressive lymphomas. Cultrera will work in the department of malignant hematology. She recently completed a fellowship in medical oncology and hematology at M.D. Anderson Cancer Center and a Master of Science in patient-based research from the University of Texas Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences.
