Knowledgeable Team Our tumor boards meet regularly to draw on the collective expertise of cancer specialists. During these meetings, we discuss treatment plans for patients with complex cancers. Supportive Care Services Surgery is about more than undergoing a procedure. From financial planning to pain control, nutritional support and physical therapy, our supportive care services go above and beyond to help you. Surgical Oncology Treatments Our team offers advanced surgical procedures to treat cancer, including minimally invasive and robotic surgery and HIPEC. Minimally Invasive Surgery We provide minimally invasive robotic and laparoscopic surgery for many types of cancer, including esophageal, stomach, small bowel, colon, pancreatic, gallbladder and liver cancer. Precise instruments provide 3D visualization and navigation to help us remove cancer cells without damaging nearby tissue. Minimally invasive surgery often results in a faster recovery. Innovative Chemotherapy Treatment Our experts treat certain cancers with a combination of surgery and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC), also called hot chemotherapy. Once we remove existing tumors, the heated chemotherapy sinks deep into the cancer cells, increasing the absorption and effectiveness of the medicine.
