Our highly skilled and experienced team of surgeons is dedicated to providing the highest qualiity care to patients with cancer using a multidisciplinary approach that seeks to personalize treatment for each patient.
Advanced Care When Cancer Surgery Is Needed
Each year, millions of people in the United States are diagnosed with cancer. The American Cancer Society estimates that more than 2 million people were diagnosed with some form of cancer in 2024 alone. Of that number, more than 60% underwent surgery as part of their treatment plan.
Many different types of cancer can be treated using surgical oncology techniques, either as a standalone treatment to remove cancer or along with other treatment options, such as chemotherapy, immunotherapy, or radiation therapy. Surgery can also be used to diagnose cancer and, in some cases, to prevent it through the removal of precancerous growths.
Our team of surgeons works closely with other members of your care team, including medical oncologists, radiation oncologists, pathologists, and other specialists. This collaborative, multidisciplinary approach helps us provide exceptional care for every patient.
