Abdul Aziz Aadam

Dr. Abdul Aziz Aadam is devoted to exploring challenges in gastrointestinal oncology, pancreas, and biliary disorders as an Associate Professor of Medicine in the Gastroenterology Division at Northwestern University. With a keen focus on integrating research and technology into patient care, Dr. Aadam is an integral part of a multi-disciplinary team that strives to advance the field of gastroenterology through innovative approaches and collaborative efforts. As an interventional gastroenterologist, Dr. Aadam is proficient in performing complex endoscopic procedures, including endoscopic ultrasound (EUS), endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP), and stent placement. His expertise in these areas not only enhances diagnostic accuracy but also improves therapeutic outcomes for patients with intricate gastrointestinal conditions. Dr. Aadam leads the endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) initiative at Northwestern University, a cutting-edge program that facilitates the removal of early-stage cancers in the gastrointestinal tract using a flexible endoscope. This minimally invasive technique represents a significant advancement in the treatment of digestive cancers, offering patients a less invasive option with the potential for improved recovery times and outcomes. His research interests are deeply rooted in the study of digestive cancer, pancreas, and biliary disorders, where he continually seeks to expand the boundaries of current medical knowledge. Through his dedication to both clinical practice and research, Dr. Aadam is committed to improving the lives of patients and contributing to the broader understanding of gastrointestinal diseases.
