Our physicians are deeply committed to providing the highest level of oncologic care available and giving patients assurance, hope, and guidance as they work toward recovery and cure.
An Overview of Oncology
Oncology, in the most general sense, is the branch of medicine that deals with cancer and tumors. The team at Surgical Associates of La Jolla are highly trained and experienced in identifying, diagnosing, and treating cancer at both the earliest stages as well as in its most advanced forms.
Cancer typically develops when normal, healthy cells undergo some sort of genetic mutation. These mutations are usually triggered by carcinogens, or cancer-causing agents, but can, in many cases, be traced to genetics. While cancer is not always life threatening, it is vital that anyone with even a remote suspicion of cancer contact our practice and schedule a consultation with one of our surgical oncologists.
Types of Cancer Our Surgeons Treat
Our surgical oncologists serve our North County and San Diego-area patients by identifying the presence of cancer, diagnosing its specific type and extent, and devising a comprehensive course of treatment. At the leading edge in treatments and options, the surgical oncologists at Surgical Associates of La Jolla deal with the full range of cancer types, including:
Pancreatic and Gastric Cancer

Abdominal Cancers (Treated with HIPEC)
Hyperthermic Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy, or HIPEC, is a revolutionary new treatment that can help treat cancers located in the abdominal region. Our surgeons use the unique HIPEC treatment to successfully treat many patients with advanced, complex malignancies. >>Learn More about Treating Abdominal Cancers with HIPEC
Thyroid and Parathyroid Disease
Though it is relatively commonplace for nodules to form in the thyroid gland, most are benign. However, when nodules are found to be cancerous, patients have a very high cure rate. Abnormal enlargement and function of the parathyroid glands, when caught early, has a very good chance of being treated successfully. Our oncologists work closely with a wide network of endocrinologists to provide the best care possible. >>Learn More about Thyroid and Parathyroid Cancers
