Surgical treatment of cancer continues to be a key part of the definitive cure in cases with early diagnosis. Similarly, surgical resection of the tumor is still needed in the first instance (completing it with adjuvant therapies such as chemotherapy and radiotherapy) in the vast majority of cancers.

Therefore, we have created a team of specialists who are specifically trained and who use updating formation programs in cancer treatment using surgery.

Our specific areas of focus are:

• Thyroid cancer
• Cancer of the esophagus, stomach and duodenum
• Pancreatic cancer
• Metastatic and primary liver cancer
• Bowel cancer, including colon, rectum, anus and gastrointestinal stromal tumors
• Spleen lymphoma
• Peritoneal carcinomatosis, where we are conducting a research program with surgical cytoreduction and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy.

All cancer surgeries we perform are multidisciplinary, in coordination with medical oncology, internal medicine and clinical psychology.
