  1. Services and Treatments
  2. Cancer Surgery

Surgery is a common treatment for many types of cancer, and finding the right care team is essential. The surgical experts at Lehigh Valley Topper Cancer Institute and Lehigh Valley Institute for Surgical Excellence are leaders in the field and here for you through every stage of your care journey. Our experience performing a high volume and wide range of surgeries directly relates to our excellent outcomes.

Innovative techniques

The surgeons at Lehigh Valley Topper Cancer Institute and Lehigh Valley Institute for Surgical Excellence offer the latest techniques – including robotic and minimally invasive surgery – which preserve as much healthy tissue as possible and get you back to being you faster.

The robotic approach allows your care team to perform surgery with a high degree of accuracy using robotic “arms,” and it makes it possible to eliminate cancer in hard-to-reach areas so you look and feel your best afterward.
