What gastrointestinal surgical oncology treats

Diagnostics and advanced procedures

Your care starts with answers — and the right treatment plan. Our gastrointestinal cancer specialists use the latest diagnostics to identify disease early, manage symptom and reduce long-term effects. Many tests and treatments can even be done right in our office for your convenience.

Innovative procedures include:

  • Minimally invasive robotic surgery: Precision techniques for faster recovery and less discomfort.
  • Complex surgical oncology procedures, including the Whipple: Advanced surgery for pancreatic and other GI cancers.
  • Hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC): Targeted therapy to treat cancer within the abdominal cavity.

A new, non‑invasive treatment option for liver tumors

OhioHealth Riverside Methodist Hospital now offers histotripsy, an innovative, non‑invasive treatment for certain liver tumors. Using focused ultrasound — rather than surgery — this approach targets and destroys tumor tissue with precision while helping protect surrounding healthy structures.

What patients may experience:

  • No incisions or surgical cuts
  • Highly targeted treatment
  • Short procedure time (about 60 to 90 minutes)
  • Little recovery time
  • An option for patients who may not qualify for traditional surgery
