Your trusted team for cancer surgery
When surgery is part of your cancer journey, you deserve surgeons who are specially trained to treat your type of cancer and understand your diagnosis and needs.
At the Parkview Packnett Family Cancer Center (PFCI), our surgical oncologists are trained, equipped, and determined to deliver the best possible outcomes for patients. In fact, all our surgical oncologists have received one to three years of specialty fellowship training in cancer surgery. Add in their general surgery residency (usually five to seven years) and medical school (four years), and our cancer surgeons typically undergo at least a decade of formal training. Rest assured that they have the skills and experience needed to provide safe, effective surgical care.
Our expert care extends beyond the operating room. We’ll provide you with a patient navigator to support you every step of the way. We’ll work as a cancer care team to ensure that your surgery fits within your broader treatment plan. And when appropriate, we’ll offer minimally invasive procedures, which may help you to recover quicker and move on to the next step of your treatment program.
