Advanced, Tailored Surgical Oncology Precision Care, Personalized for You

At the Department of General and Oncological Surgery, our Surgical Oncology division specializes in complex gastrointestinal and hepatobiliary cancers—from colon, gastric, pancreatic tumors to sarcomas and peritoneal surface malignancies. We offer advanced treatments including cytoreductive surgery with HIPEC, hepatic artery infusion pumps, robotic-assisted resections, and individualized multidisciplinary protocols designed for optimal oncologic results with minimal morbidity.

Fellowship-Trained

Surgical Oncologists with deep expertise in GI, liver, sarcoma, and peritoneal surface malignancies

Specialized

Management of Liver Metastases via hepatic artery infusion pump chemotherapy (HAI) along with systemic therapy

Cytoreductive

Surgery & HIPEC for complex peritoneal malignancies

Minimally

Invasive Robotic & Laparoscopic Approaches for GI, pancreatic, and sarcoma resections

Common Conditions & Subspecialty Clinics.

  • Colon, rectal, gastric, pancreatic, and biliary tract tumors
  • Liver metastases (colorectal, neuroendocrine, cholangiocarcinoma)
  • Peritoneal Surface Malignancies
  • Pseudomyxoma peritonei, peritoneal mesothelioma, peritoneal carcinomatosis from GI cancers
  • Advanced cytoreduction and intraoperative regional chemotherapy (HIPEC)
  • Sarcoma & Soft‑Tissue Tumors
  • Primary and metastatic sarcomas in GI, retroperitoneal, and abdominal soft tissues
  • Liver‑Directed Therapies
  • Surgical placement of hepatic artery infusion pumps to deliver high-dose chemotherapy directly to liver tumors, often shrinking tumors or reducing recurrence risk

Procedures & Treatments.

Robotic-assisted gastrectomy, colectomy, pancreatic resections, and sarcoma surgery to reduce pain, blood loss, and hospital stay

Robotic & Minimally Invasive Oncology

Extensive peritoneal tumor debulking followed by heated intraperitoneal chemotherapy for peritoneal surface malignancy—achieving long-term control in selected patients

Cytoreduction with HIPEC

Hepatic artery infusion pump placement combined with systemic chemotherapy, for liver metastases, improving conversion-to-resectability and survival

Robotic and laparoscopic resections for colon, gastric, pancreatic, and hepatic tumors

Intraoperative assessment including peritoneal washing, high-definition laparoscopy, and selective biopsies to guide staging and treatment

Frequently Asked Questions.

What is HIPEC and who is eligible?

HIPEC combines complete surgical tumor removal with heated chemotherapy circulated in the abdominal cavity to destroy remaining microscopic disease. It is used for select patients with peritoneal surface malignancy—or pseudomyxoma peritonei and mesothelioma—who meet strict selection criteria .

How does the HAI pump work?

A small pump, implanted under the skin, delivers chemotherapy directly into the hepatic artery supplying the liver. This enables higher tumor-targeted doses and reduced systemic side effects—often aiding tumor shrinkage and enhancing surgical candidacy .

Why robotic surgery in cancer care?

Robotic platforms provide enhanced 3D visualization and fine surgical control—especially when precise dissection, tissue preservation, and minimal morbidity are critical for oncologic and recovery outcomes.

How is care coordinated?

Your case is reviewed by a multidisciplinary team including surgical oncology, medical and radiation oncology, radiology, pathology, and supportive care disciplines to ensure the most effective, personalized treatment path.
