Our surgeons specialize in cancer treatment.
Holden’s Cancer Surgery Service brings together surgical specialists from the Department of Surgery as well as the disciplines of cardiothoracic surgery, dermatology, gynecology, ophthalmology, orthopedic surgery, otolaryngology, plastic surgery, and urology.
Surgery is done in the context of your complete care.
If surgery is a treatment option determined for your particular case, you can take comfort in knowing your Holden surgeon is part of your complete team. They work closely with other team members—pathologists, radiologists, anesthesiologists, and oncologists—to give you the comprehensive treatment you expect.
Because our surgeons specialize in cancer surgery, you have the confidence they will use the latest techniques aimed at restoring you to health.
Consider the advantage of a major surgery center.
Surgery is a large part of the care environment at UI Health Care. In a recent year, surgeons overall conducted nearly 32,000 major operations and more than 140,000 minor surgical procedures. Our operating facilities and the care following surgery are second-to-none in our region.
