Conditions We Treat

Mount Sinai surgical oncologists deliver unparalleled, multidisciplinary care. We use the most recent advances in technology to diagnose and treat both benign conditions and a wide array of cancers, including highly complex or recurring conditions.

Our surgeons provide expert care in managing and treating cancer, including the following types of cancer:

• Bile duct cancer—cancer that forms in the thin tube that moves bile from your liver to your gallbladder as part of the digestive process; learn more about bile duct cancer.
• Colorectal cancer—cancer that may affect either the colon that carries food for digestion or the rectum that connects the colon to the anus where stool is eliminated; learn more about colorectal cancer.
• Esophageal cancer—cancer forms in the esophagus, the tube that brings food from the mouth to the stomach; learn more about esophageal cancer.
• Gallbladder cancer—abnormal cells that grow in the gallbladder that stores bile for the digestive process; learn more about gallbladder cancer.
• Liver cancer—cancer cells that grow out of control and disrupt the normal function of the liver to digest food and clean your blood; learn more about liver cancer.
• Melanoma—a serious type of skin cancer; learn more about melanoma.
• Pancreatic cancer—cancerous cells that interrupt the pancreas from producing hormones including insulin; learn more about pancreatic cancer.
• Peritoneal malignancies—forms on the tissues that lines the abdomen; learn more about peritoneal malignancies.
• Sarcoma—a rare form of cancer that can develop in both soft tissue and bone; learn more about sarcoma.
• Stomach cancer—cancer cells that form in the stomach; learn more about stomach cancer.

Our surgeons also have expertise in the treatment of benign (non-cancerous) conditions, such as:

• Benign abdominal tumors—non-cancerous growths or tumors
• Bile duct injuries—damage to the bile ducts
• Biliary cysts—cysts that form within the biliary system that includes the liver, gallbladder, and bile ducts
• Hepatic (liver) cysts—soft lumps that form on the liver
• Pancreatic cysts—pocket-like growths that form on the pancreas
