Hepatobiliary Cancers
Why Choose Us
Advanced care for challenging cancers
Cancers of the liver, pancreas, and bile duct are among the most challenging to treat successfully. By the time they cause symptoms, they usually have already grown to an advanced stage and spread throughout the body, requiring a team of specialists to treat them optimally. The Weill Cornell Medicine Meyer Cancer Center at NewYork-Presbyterian Brooklyn Methodist Hospital is home to such a team, offering comprehensive multidisciplinary care for patients with hepatobiliary cancers and providing advanced treatments that can be difficult to find elsewhere in Brooklyn.
Our hepatobiliary cancer team provides the full range of therapies for people with liver, pancreatic, and bile duct cancers of all stages. We have expertise in advanced interventional endoscopic procedures, minimally invasive surgery (include robotic approaches), and complex operations like the Whipple procedure. We also offer the latest chemotherapies and immunotherapies, targeted therapies for tumors with certain genetic features, and precisely focused radiation therapy — all in one medical center.
As part of an academic medical center, we participate in clinical trials for hepatobiliary cancers. These studies offer you access to investigational therapies that show promise for fighting your cancer. You may have the opportunity to participate in a clinical trial of a promising new cancer therapy. Find a clinical trial.
