Surgery is still the most common way to treat all types of cancers. The key to cure the disease is early diagnosis and complete removal. Through refined diagnostic techniques available at the Glen Cove Hospital radiology department, an outpatient procedure that uses a radiological-guided needle biopsy can accurately sample a tumor and diagnose a cancer with significantly less discomfort than more invasive inpatient procedures.

Our technically trained surgeons in the specialties of head and neck, breast, thoracic, gastrointestinal, urology, and gynecology can now perform minimally invasive surgery that feature smaller incisions, radiological localization techniques, radioisotope guided sentinel node biopsies, laparoscopy and hand assisted laparoscopic procedures resulting in less anesthesia time, quicker recovery and less morbidity.
