Message from the Chief of Surgical Oncology

The surgical oncology division at University Hospitals and UH Seidman Cancer Center is a comprehensive team that covers a broad range of cancer diagnoses. We are committed to providing the highest quality cancer care to as many cancer patients as possible. The mission of the surgical oncology division can be summarized as follows:

Why we do it: In everything we do, we try to help patients and their families navigate challenges related to their cancer diagnosis, always providing a reason to hope.

How we do it: We do this by providing compassionate care, the highest level of expertise, cutting edge treatments and clinical trials, innovative research and superior patient access.

When put into action, our mission translates into exceptional surgical outcomes and a lasting bond with our patients.

Our team recognizes that a cancer diagnosis can disrupt a patient’s life emotionally, medically and in so many other ways. Therefore, we are committed to serving as each patient’s champion and quarterback to lead them and their family on their unique cancer journey. At University Hospitals, our world-class program with experts in every cancer type is prepared to meet the needs of our patients and help them to achieve your goals. Hope is not a word we take for granted. It is at the center of everything we do.
