The Center of Abdominal Oncology specializes in the surgical treatment of all types of malignant tumors located in the peritoneum.

The institution treats cancers of the:

  • Esophagus

  • Stomach

  • Duodenum

  • Pancreas

  • Small intestine

  • Colon

  • Sigmoid colon

  • Rectum

  • Anal canal

In addition, local physicians treat hereditary polyposis syndromes and benign intestinal neoplasms. Surgical treatment is supplemented by conservative therapy when indicated. Specialists apply chemotherapy and radiation therapy principles, radionuclide therapy, and treatment with monoclonal antibodies. Diagnostic methods include in vivo MR spectroscopy, PET-CT, CT and MSCT, MRI, and endoscopic examinations.

The center’s equipment allows surgeries to be performed according to the most advanced standards. Clinic physicians also develop innovative surgical techniques. They use stapling devices that:

  • Securely fix damaged organs

  • Reduce surgical time by 30–40%

  • Help avoid stoma formation and exteriorization of the intestine to the anterior abdominal wall

  • Accelerate healing and rehabilitation

  • Reduce the risk of massive blood loss

  • Enable procedures in hard-to-reach areas where manual suturing is not possible

The absolute majority of surgeries are performed using minimally invasive techniques with the creation of mini-accesses. During surgery, PIPAC and HIPEC procedures may be performed.

The institution’s staff includes candidates and doctors of medical sciences, professors, academicians, and surgeons of the highest qualification category. The Center of Abdominal Oncology is a place where high-tech care is provided at all stages of diagnosis and treatment of internal organ cancers.
