Cancer Surgery at Lakewood Health System
Our surgical team works alongside your oncology providers to deliver coordinated, precise cancer care with your recovery and quality of life in mind.
Surgery That Can Save Lives
Surgery is an integral part of many cancer treatments. Nearly all cancer patients require at least one surgical procedure, for biopsy, tumor removal, or for something more complex. Surgery offers a good chance of full recovery in cases where cancer has not spread to other areas of the body.
Our goal with surgery is always to provide the most effective treatment in the least invasive manner. The type of surgery you receive depends on many factors, including the type, size, location, and stage of the tumor. Surgery may be combined with other cancer treatments, such as chemo or radiation.
