Ahmer Irfan, MD
Clinical Assistant Professor, Surgery - General Surgery
BioDr. Ahmer Irfan is a board-certified, fellowship-trained hepatobiliary surgeon with Stanford Health Care. He is also a clinical assistant professor in the Department of Surgery, Division of General Surgery at Stanford University School of Medicine.
Dr. Irfan cares for cancer affecting the liver, pancreas, biliary system, and gastrointestinal system, often treating complex and advanced cancers. He specializes in performing minimally invasive surgery to remove cancer using laparoscopic, robotic, and ablative techniques. He takes a compassionate approach to cancer care, working with patients and families to develop personalized treatment plans that align with their goals.
Dr. Irfan’s research focuses on improving outcomes for patients with liver, pancreatic, and gastrointestinal cancers through advances in surgical care. His work has explored how surgeons make treatment decisions and how health care systems can optimize patient support throughout the cancer journey. He has also studied the use of advanced surgical techniques, including robotic surgery and vascular reconstruction, to treat complex cancers safely.
Dr. Irfan has published his findings in leading peer-reviewed journals, including the International Journal of Cancer, Journal of the American College of Surgeons, and HPB. He has also shared his research and expertise at prestigious surgical meetings of the Americas Hepato-Pancreato-Biliary Association (AHPBA), International Hepato-Pancreato-Biliary Association (IHPBA), and Pancreas Club. His presentation topics have focused on innovations in hepato-pancreato-biliary surgery, complex cancer care, and surgical education.
Dr. Irfan is a member of AHPBA, IHPBA, and Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Glasgow (RCPSG). -

Haruka Itakura, MD, PhD
Assistant Professor of Medicine (Oncology)
BioDr. Haruka Itakura is an Assistant Professor of Medicine (Oncology) in the Stanford University School of Medicine, a data scientist, and a practicing breast medical oncologist at the Stanford Women’s Cancer Center. She is board-certified in Oncology, Clinical Informatics, Hematology, and Internal Medicine. Her research mission is to drive medical advances at the intersection of cancer and data science, applying state-of-the-art machine learning/artificial intelligence (AI) techniques to extract clinically actionable knowledge from heterogeneous multi-scale cancer data to improve patient outcomes. Her ongoing research to develop robust methodologies and apply cutting-edge techniques to analyze complex cancer big data was catapulted by an NIH K01 Career Development Award in Biomedical Big Data Science after obtaining a PhD in Biomedical Informatics at Stanford University. Her cancer research focuses on extracting radiomic (pixel-level quantitative imaging) features of tumors from medical imaging studies and applying machine learning frameworks, including radiogenomic approaches, for the integrative analysis of heterogeneous, multiomic (e.g., radiomic, genomic, transcriptomic) data to accelerate discoveries in cancer diagnostics and therapeutics. Her current projects include data science/AI-powered prediction modeling of survival, treatment response, cancer recurrence, and metastasis in different cancer subtypes; detection of occult invasive breast cancer; and identification of novel therapeutic targets. Her goal is to translate her research findings back to the clinical setting for the benefit of patients with difficult-to-treat cancers.
