John Cameron M.D.
John L. Cameron is a professor of surgery at the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine and former surgeon in chief and chairman of the Department of Surgery at The Johns Hopkins Hospital, a post he held for 19 years. His career at Johns Hopkins began nearly 50 years ago as a medical student.
Internationally renowned as a teacher of surgery, a meticulous clinician, and a researcher, Cameron specializes in a complicated operation for pancreatic cancer called the Whipple Procedure, which he has worked for decades to refine. He has performed more than 1,400 of these six-hour surgeries—more than any other surgeon in the world—to remove parts of the pancreas and small intestine, plus the gallbladder and bile duct.
Cameron and wife, Doris, have four children, two of whom are Hopkins faculty members: Andrew Cameron, an assistant professor of surgery in the Comprehensive Transplant Center, and Shannon Brown, an epidemiologist in the Department of Urology.
