 Paul D. Hansen, M.D., medical director Providence Liver Cancer Clinic Overview
Liver and pancreatic diseases include disorders of the liver, bile ducts, gallbladder and pancreas. Surgical procedures for these diseases are usually advanced and complicated. Special training and skill is required to ensure the best possible outcomes for patients. Providence Liver Cancer Clinic specializes in minimally invasive surgical interventions to treat cancers and other diseases of the liver, pancreas and bile ducts. Goals
Our goal is to develop a nationally recognized program identified as a ‘center of excellence’ for the creation and implementation of nonsurgical, minimally invasive, and open surgical treatments for hepatobiliary and pancreatic (HBP) disease. A broad spectrum of services is available offering referring physicians and their patients a ‘single-source’ center for patients with liver and pancreas diseases. Providence-associated physicians representing multiple specialties provide organized care plans for patients with these diseases. Services
Providence-associated physicians treat a broad range of illnesses, offering both surgical and nonsurgical therapies. Some of the diseases they treat include: - Liver cancer (primary or metastatic)
- Pancreatic cancer
- Neuroendocrine tumors
- Bile duct tumors
- Bile duct injuries
