Surgical Oncology

Our surgical oncology team focuses on using surgery to diagnose, stage, and treat cancer in collaboration with the rest of our oncology care team (including medical oncology and radiation oncology). Our surgical oncologist also performs palliative surgeries to help control pain, increase a patient’s comfort level, and manage cancer-related symptoms and side effects. As part of a patient’s overall cancer care team, we take the time to get to know each patient and develop a customized cancer treatment plan just for them.

Why Choose Us

Compassionate Patient-Centered Care

We focus on providing patient/family-centered care. Our surgical oncology team takes the time to get to know each patient, their complete health situation, and their treatment goals. We involve patients at each step of the care process, and always keep them informed of what’s happening with their health care plan.

Access to the Latest Care Through Clinical Trials

Memorial Health System is one of the most active clinical trial sites in Ohio. Through ongoing nationally recognized cancer research and trials, we are able to offer treatments that won’t be available to the general public for months or even years from now. We are proud of our role in finding new ways to treat and beat cancer on all fronts. Learn more about our ongoing cancer clinical trials.

Coordinated Care with Specialty Providers

When needed, our team can coordinate care with other specialty providers across the Memorial Health System network. We work to streamline care so patients can focus on getting well, instead of spending lots of time coordinating medical appointments and specialists.
