Surgical Oncology and Consultation

South Shore Hospital

A multispecialty surgical oncology program, provided by physicians from South Shore Hospital and Brigham and Women’s Hospital, is located on the second floor of the Cancer Center.

• Physicians from Brigham and Women’s Hospital and South Shore Hospital provide breast, gastrointestinal, genitourinary, gynecologic, neurosurgery, otolaryngology, plastic, and thoracic surgery expertise.
• Depending on the patient’s needs and preferences, a surgical procedure may take place at South Shore Hospital (across the street), Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston or another hospital of the patient’s choice.

Patients may need surgery for a variety of reasons: to remove or shrink a solid tumor, ease pain, remove obstructions caused by cancer, or repair an area of the body damaged by cancer.
