Marcon was one of the first gastroenterologists in Canada to use therapeutic endoscopy for the treatment of digestive diseases.[1] His fellowship training was at St Mark's Hospital in London. He began his practice at the Wellesley Hospital in Toronto, where he served as the Divisional Head. He developed and directed the first training program in therapeutic endoscopy in Canada. He developed one of the first courses in therapeutic endoscopy, where physicians demonstrated advanced cases in endoscopy for other gastroenterologists. His research has included the application of optical coherence tomography to gastroenterology and therapies for dysplasia in Barrett's esophagus.
He was named as an officer of the Order of Canada in 2014.
