Surgical Oncology

The Best Surgical Care for Cancer Patients

Our surgeons can treat, manage and prevent a variety of cancer types — not only removing tumors, cancerous cells and growths, but also taking measures to avoid the potential spread and further risk of more cancer.

Surgery can remove solid tumors, portions of a tumor (debulking) that otherwise might damage an organ if fully removed, and tumors as a way to ease some cancer symptoms. Sometimes surgery is the only treatment needed, but it is often used in combination with other cancer treatments.

Our surgeons provide comprehensive care within a multidisciplinary team, specializing in minimally invasive procedures such as laparoscopic and robotic-assisted treatment of tumors. Our surgeons have undergone specialty training and offer a high degree of specialization and expertise. Cancer surgery is generally considered complex, and published data have demonstrated that hospitals and surgeons with the highest volume experience with specific operations have the lowest complication and death rates.
