Surgery: Skill and Compassion

Many individuals with cancer require surgery. The team of surgeons at Emerson Hospital perform the full range of cancer surgery, including advanced procedures, and they provide compassionate care in a patient-friendly setting. They are supported by state-of-the-art imaging technology, highly qualified anesthesiologists and an outstanding nursing staff.

Surgeons at the Bethke Cancer Center have extensive experience in treating tumors of the lung, breast, soft tissues, genitourinary and gastrointestinal systems and the head and neck. They also have a track record of performing the latest minimally invasive procedures—surgery that requires small incisions and results in a quicker recovery than traditional surgery. Some surgeries, including for colon cancer and kidney cancer, can often be performed this way, which is easier on the patient.
