Surgical oncology excellence for any need
With fellowship-trained surgical specialists for many of the types of cancers we treat, including breast, pancreatic and colon cancer, we provide best-in-class surgical care for our patients. In addition, our endoscopic specialists provide less invasive techniques for diagnostic and treatment interventions for our cancer patients. These non-surgical techniques allow for careful monitoring of your cancer, but with less trauma.
Our multidisciplinary approach to cancer care means the Riverside surgical oncology team works together with cancer care team members, including tumor board collaborations, for an individualized approach for each patient. Our team makes sure you have the right treatment plan for your unique goals and objectives.
Minimally invasive surgical techniques benefit patients
Using advanced and minimally invasive surgical capabilities, the Riverside surgery team provides endoscopic and robotic options for diagnostic and surgical techniques that benefit patients, including:
- Smaller incisions
- Less blood loss
- Reduced scarring
- Shorter hospital stay
- Faster recovery
Endoscopic excellence for GI conditions
With endoscopic diagnostic and surgical capabilities, our Riverside GI specialists have advanced therapeutic training that forms the strength of Riverside’s gastroenterology expertise. These minimally invasive endoscopic procedures allow our specially trained team to use an endoscope with a tiny camera to identify gastrointestinal issues.
