Jupiter Medical Center offers a multidisciplinary team of experts who are
highly skilled in using the most advanced imaging technology to diagnose
and treat gastrointestinal cancers. We also offer the latest clinical trials,
chemotherapy, immunotherapies and targeted treatments.
Our team includes surgeons are skilled in treating gastrointestinal cancer
utilizing the most advances procedures in our region – including
hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC), the Whipple procedure,
microwave and radiofrequency ablation, and minimally invasive laparoscopic
and robotic surgery.
Advanced radiation treatments include the use of image-guided radiation
therapy (IGRT), one of the most cutting-edge innovations available and
CyberKnife® M6™ radiosurgery, a highly precise form of non-surgical
radiation therapy that delivers precisely targeted radiation at very high
doses so patients only need a few treatments.
Our doctors and nurses specialize in pre- and post-surgical ostomy care
and education, and are available to help people who have issues related
to ostomy, including wounds or rashes.
Minimally Invasive Cancer Surgery
An increasing amount of cancer surgery can also be carried out safely,
quickly, and efficiently through a number of small incisions known as
minimally invasive surgery (MIS). We apply these cutting edge techniques while never compromising the principles
of cancer surgery.
We offer minimally invasive surgery for cancer of the
esophagus,
stomach,
liver,
pancreas,
colon and rectum, and
peritoneal malignancies. The common feature shared by all of these procedures is that laparoscopic
surgery allows for less post-operative pain, a shorter hospital stay,
and minimal scarring.
Every patient is evaluated in consultation if they are a candidate of MIS.
