The Division of Oncologic Endocrine and HPB Surgery

Surgery is used in several ways to help people with cancer and it provides the best chance to stop many types of cancer. It also plays a part in diagnosing, staging, and supporting cancer treatment. 

The team of surgeons, including Fellowship-trained surgical oncologists in the Division of Oncologic, Endocrine, and HPB Surgery, specialize in treating cancer patients.

  • We care for patients with breast diseases/cancer, endocrine tumors, melanoma, soft tissue tumors, pancreas cancer, liver cancer, bile duct cancer, colon cancer, HPB cancer and gastric cancer.
  • We advance knowledge regarding breast diseases/cancers, endocrine tumors, melanoma, soft tissue tumors, and GI cancers through basic, translational and clinical research.
  • We are at the forefront of minimally invasive techniques that improve precision and reduce recovery time.
  • We educate students and residents regarding optimal treatment and care of patients with breast diseases/cancers, endocrine tumors, melanomas, soft tissue tumors, and GI cancers.
