Cancer treatment in the Chicagoland area

We offer advanced treatments to our patients. These treatments include:

Hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy, or HIPEC: Dr. Salti is one of the country’s most experienced surgical oncologists who offer this procedure, which combines surgery, chemotherapy and heat to treat abdominal cancers that have spread to the lining of the abdominal cavity. Some cancers that can benefit from HIPEC include colon cancer, stomach cancer and ovarian cancer.
NanoKnife^®: This less-invasive treatment uses electrical currents to treat liver cancer, pancreatic cancer and soft-tissue cancers.
Robotic and other minimally invasive surgeries: These options may result in faster recovery and less pain, blood loss and scarring. The da Vinci^® Surgical System gives surgeons greater precision and control during surgery in even the most difficult-to-reach areas of the body.
