Surgery is the backbone
of treatment for cancer and the general surgical oncologist is best
equipped to care for these patients. Our surgeons treat all of the above
malignancies. However, the best success is achieved with a combined team
approach including the surgeon, oncologist and radiation therapist. It
is our philosophy to treat cancer with a team approach. Our medical
community offers all patients access to the best trained specialists in
the region and our surgeons are highly trained and experienced in the
surgical care of cancer patients. They pride themselves in staying
updated in the latest technology and surgical advances.
