Oncology Services
Surgical
oncologists at Loyola provide advanced surgical treatments
for cancer patients and foster cancer research and education.
The goals of this specialty are to provide the most
comprehensive, progressive surgical management available
for individuals with cancer; to educate students, residents
and physicians in these methods; and to expand research
in cancer or like diseases.
Surgical
oncologic care encompasses a wide range of malignancies,
including those affecting the gastrointestinal tract,
liver, pancreas, biliary system, breast, esophagus,
melanoma and soft tissue sarcoma. In addition, infusional
hepatic chemotherapy and cryoablation of liver tumors
have been added to the surgical armamentarium. Surgery
on gastric, pancreatic, colon, rectum and esophageal
cancers are routinely performed.
Specialty
Services
A
large variety of advanced operations such as limb salvage
procedures for soft tissue sarcoma and liver resections
for primary and metastatic carcinoma are performed.
For
the best management of cancer patients, surgical oncology
has a close working relationship with the medical oncology
and radiation therapy departments.
Research
Surgical oncologists at Loyola are studying
the the role of sentinel lymph node biopsy in the management
of regional failure of metastatic melanoma.
