The surgical oncologists, Drs. Barone and Goldfarb, at OASD perform many specialty surgical procedures related to cancer diagnosis and treatment. Shown below and on Intraperitoneal Surgery and Chemotherapy are some of these procedures and treatments.
- Breast Cancer
Sentinel Lymph Node Mapping: Technique used to identify the first lymph nodes which drain the area of the breast tumor. By identifying these nodes special techniques are used to identify microscopic tumor cells in the lymph node that may be missed on routine techniques.
- Colon Cancer
Sentinel Lymph Node Mapping: Technique used to identify the first lymph nodes which drain the area of the breast tumor. By identifying these nodes special techniques are used to identify microscopic tumor cells in the lymph node that may be missed on routine techniques.
- Esophageal Cancer
Preoperative chemotherapy and radiation treatment is administered to decrease tumor size before undergoing surgery. This combination treatment appears to increase overall survival.
- Liver Cancer
- Cryoablation: Freezing tumors within the liver.
- Radiofrequency Ablation: Heat killing of tumors within the liver.
- Regional Chemotherapy: Continuous administration of high doses of chemotherapy via a catheter placed directly into the liver, resulting in less chemotherapy side effects elsewhere in the body.
- Melanoma
- Sentinel Lymph Node Mapping: Technique used to identify the first lymph nodes which drain the area of the breast tumor. By identifying these nodes special techniques are used to identify microscopic tumor cells in the lymph node that may be missed on routine techniques.
- Hyperthermic Isolated Limb Perfusion: Continuous delivery of high doses of chemotherapy in conjunction with heat to an arm or leg for local tumor control.
- Rectal Cancer
- Sphincter Preserving Procedures: Local removal of cancer through the anus.
- Mesorectal Resections: Nerve preserving surgery to maintain bladder and erectile function.
- Soft Tissue Cancer: Limb preserving surgery.
