About surgery

About us

We provide consultation, diagnosis and treatment services including surgery for a wide variety of cancers.

Each major cancer site or organ system has its own team and its own multidisciplinary cancer conference (MCC) or tumour board. Cases are discussed at these weekly conferences and an individualized plan of management is developed.

Minimally invasive surgical oncology (laparoscopic surgery)

We have two state-of-the-art laparoscopic suites in our operating rooms. Laparoscopic surgery, when relevant, is available for the following areas:

Kidney and Urinary System

Caring for Your Urinary (Foley) Catheter
