About this clinic
The Surgical Oncology Clinic offers specialized surgical care for a wide range of cancers in adult patients (18 years and older), including melanoma, sarcoma, breast tumors, liver tumors, pancreas tumors, esophageal and gastric cancers, and thyroid and parathyroid tumors.
Our team treats cancers affecting the breast, bile ducts, gallbladder, liver, pancreas, esophagus, stomach, small and large intestine, skin, soft tissue and endocrine system. We are dedicated to delivering personalized surgical care using minimally invasive, robotic and open techniques tailored to your individual needs to help you recover, maintain function and support your overall quality of life.
Our treatment approach
At UT Medicine, we take an integrated, multidisciplinary approach to your care. This means you will benefit from the expertise of multiple specialists across a variety of disciplines caring for you in one place — avoiding the need to schedule multiple appointments with providers at locations all over the city.
UT Medicine is anchored by Dell Medical School at The University of Texas at Austin, where we collaborate with colleagues to apply leading-edge research, diagnostic and treatment techniques to the diagnosis and treatment of your condition. Advanced imaging and lab testing are also available on-site if needed.
