Surgical Oncology

Greenwich Hospital surgeons representing a broad range of specialties are an integral part of the cancer team. Surgeons attend Tumor Board and Tumor Conference meetings, collaborating with other members of the cancer care team to ensure an accurate diagnosis and consider all appropriate treatment options. The hospital's medical staff includes highly skilled general surgeons, breast surgeons, neurosurgeons, otolaryngologists, plastic surgeons, thoracic surgeons and urologists who are adept at state-of-the-art technologies for treating cancer patients. Improved surgical techniques using tiny incisions are leading to quicker recovery time, less pain and fewer infections for cancer patients who undergo surgery. Dr. Paul Waters, a thoracic surgeon, is director of surgical oncology at the hospital.
