Background
Dr. Michail Mavros, a surgical oncologist specializing in complex cancers, is deeply committed to offering his patients personalized, advanced care. Originally from Athens, Greece, Dr. Mavros's passion for oncology was sparked during medical school after losing a close friend to cancer. This life-changing event inspired him to dedicate his career to improving the lives of cancer patients.
Dr. Mavros is one of few surgeons with accredited subspecialty training in both complex surgical oncology and hepato-pancreato-biliary (HPB) surgery, making him highly qualified to treat cancers of the liver, pancreas, and bile ducts. He is also skilled in minimally invasive techniques, including laparoscopic and robotic-assisted surgery, which offer benefits such as faster recovery, reduced pain, and improved outcomes.
At the heart of Dr. Mavros' approach is his belief in individualized care. He works closely with a multidisciplinary team of experts, including medical oncologists, radiation oncologists, and pathologists, to ensure each patient receives a thorough evaluation. This collaborative approach results in comprehensive, personalized treatment plans. By leveraging the latest advances in precision medicine, Dr. Mavros tailors his treatments to meet the unique needs of each patient, guided by the most current scientific research and evidence-based practices.

Dr. Mavros is an excellent health care provider. There is a myth that surgeons are aloof and difficult to reach...Dr. Mavros is the opposite. I couldn't have asked for a better doctor. I feel very lucky that he did my surgery and handled post surgical issues.

Dr. Mavros is a great doctor - interested in making sure that the medical procedures are explained and executed perfectly. Unlike some other doctors I've seen (not at Johns Hopkins), he also takes the time to make sure patients are doing okay emotionally.

Dr. Mavros' office called me right away when the results of a biopsy were in. They scheduled me for later in the week. Dr. Mavros spent a lot of time with me explaining the situation and what surgery would mean. I'm very grateful he is the one who will do my surgery.
