Our surgical team offers expert, personalized care for patients facing cancer that may require surgery. Ensuring our patients have the best chance to beat cancer may include consulting with a surgeon. Surgery may offer the best chance to effectively treat many types of cancer, such as those originating in the breast, skin, lymph nodes, gastrointestinal tract, liver, pancreas, and spleen. Sometimes surgery is used to diagnose cancer or after a diagnosis is established, surgery may support other forms of treatment, such as chemotherapy and radiation. Our surgical team is skilled in robotic-assisted surgery, a minimally invasive technique that allows our specially trained surgeons to perform a wide range of delicate and complex operations through a few small incisions. Northern Light Mercy Hospital has a da Vinci surgical system, which gives your surgeon an advanced set of instruments to use in performing robotic-assisted, minimally invasive surgery.
We don’t work in silos—your care is truly a team effort. Our surgeons partner closely with specialists in:
- Nationally accredited breast center
- Gastroenterology: colonoscopies, endoscopies, and EBUS for lung evaluations
- Urology: prostate and bladder cancers
- Thoracic surgery: lung cancers
- Interventional radiology: minimally invasive procedures for diagnosis, treatment, and symptom relief
At every step, our goal is to make sure you’re informed, confident, and supported with a care plan tailored just for you. For more information, please visit: Surgical oncology - Northern Light Health
