Browse resources →When Is Surgery the Right Choice?
Surgery is a local therapy. Understanding how it fits with chemotherapy, immunotherapy, and other treatments — and when it doesn't — is central to good oncologic care.

Consultations can be conducted in Spanish or Italian — whichever makes it easier for you and your family to understand, ask questions, and feel at ease throughout your care.

Approach
Complex Problems Require More Than Technical Skill
A large part of surgical oncology is not technical — it is judgment. The question is rarely “can an operation be done,” but whether it should be done, when, and under what conditions.
Care is guided by multidisciplinary evaluation: surgery, medical oncology, radiation, radiology, and gastroenterology working together. Many patients seen here have already been evaluated elsewhere or present with problems that do not have a single obvious solution.
The goal is to make decisions that are oncologically sound, technically appropriate, and aligned with what matters to the patient.
