Surgical Oncology

Cancer Surgery Bahamas is a surgical oncology practice but also provides advance laparoscopic surgery services and General Surgery. We provide careful and empathetic approach to care with a focus on quality. Good patient outcomes is what drives our practice as we strive for excellence to offer value to our patients.


Why select a Surgical Oncologist?

Surgical oncologists are general surgeons who have completed an additional two to three years of fellowship training at a Cancer Center in order to diagnose, biopsy and surgically treat cancers. Improved surgical outcomes and increased survival has been shown in patients who choose their care by a Surgical Oncologist.
