Career Summary

Mark S. Talamonti, M.D. is Professor of Surgery at the University of Chicago Pritzker School of Medicine and Chairman of the Department of Surgery at NorthShore University HealthSystem. Dr. Talamonti received his undergraduate education at John Carroll University where he graduated magna cum laude and was a four-year varsity football player. He attended Northwestern University Medical School, graduating in 1983, and then completed a residency in General Surgery, which included a year as chief administrative resident, and a research fellowship in the Department of Endocrinology and Molecular Biology.  He then completed a fellowship in Surgical Oncology in the Department of Surgery at the University of Texas, MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston. Dr. Talamonti spent the next 15 years at Northwestern University’s Feinberg School of Medicine where he rose through the ranks to become the Director of the Gastrointestinal Oncology Program, Chief of Surgical Oncology, and Professor of Surgery. In 2007, Dr. Talamonti moved to NorthShore University HealthSystem to assume the position as Chairman of the Department of Surgery.

 Dr. Talamonti’s research interests focus on combined modality clinical trials for patients with gastrointestinal malignancies. Dr. Talamonti’s clinical expertise focuses gastrointestinal surgical oncology with specific interests in pancreas and liver cancers. He has been the principal investigator or co-investigator on two recent Intergroup Trials examining the role of combined chemotherapy with external beam radiation therapy as neoadjuvant strategies prior to Whipple procedures for potentially resectable pancreatic cancers. Dr. Talamonti is the author of over 175 peer reviewed scientific publications, as well as 30 book chapters. He has authored two books on Liver Surgery and Gastrointestinal Oncology. He has served on the Editorial Board for the Annals of Surgical Oncology and the Journal of Surgical Oncology. He has held numerous positions in the Society of Surgical Oncology, and he is a member of the American Surgical Association and the Society of University Surgeons. Dr. Talamonti has received numerous awards including the Compassionate Care Award given to one physician annually who exemplifies dedication and compassion in the care of patients with cancer and life threatening illnesses. He was also honored with an Excellence in Teaching Award every year since his arrival as an attending surgeon at Northwestern University in 1992 and for the past 13 years as a faculty member at the Pritzker School of Medicine at the University of Chicago. He has had appointments as Chairman for the Medical Advisory Board for the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network (PanCAN) and to the Committee for the Pancreatic Cancer Guidelines of the National Comprehensive Cancer Center Network (NCCN). Dr. Talamonti also served as the President of the Chicago Surgical Association for 2015-2016, and President of the Western Surgical Association for 2018.  As Chairman at NorthShore, he leads a multi-faceted department which is clinically one of the most critical programs in a nationally recognized regional health system with over 900 employed physicians, six hospitals and 75 practice-entry sites.
