For some patients, surgery is an important facet of NSMC’s multidisciplinary approach to cancer treatment. Surgical procedures can be used to confirm diagnosis, determine the extent of the disease and cure malignant and non-malignant tumors.

NSMC’s expert surgeons have extensive experience in the treatment of most cancers, including:

• Breast cancer
• Thoracic (lung/chest) cancers
• Gastrointestinal cancers
• Colorectal cancer
• Gynecological cancers
• Urological cancers
• Prostate cancer
• Skin cancers

NSMC surgeons also participate in several multidisciplinary clinics at the NSMC Cancer Center, which bring together medical, radiation, and surgeons pertinent to a specific cancer.
