| Cascade Surgical Oncology Focuses on Comprehensive Cancer Care. Healing the Body While Never Overlooking the Mind and the Spirit. |
No other disease evokes the quality of anxiety and fear as does cancer. This is something which cannot be excised with the scalpel. We combat it with Hope through a "team approach." We provide total patient care to help the body heal while not overlooking the mind and spirit. Our patients are in charge of the team. Our mission is to pursue understanding and to seek the optimal therapy and outcome for their illness. We emphasize patient and family education. Our patients are the most important members of our team. It is only through knowledge that our patients can take charge of the team and make the decisions about their care which are best for them.
Bring family and/or friends to your appointment. They are often a great source of support, and their early involvement provides them with a greater understanding of how they might help you.
Ask questions. Write down your questions as you think of them and bring them with you.
Learn all you can. We provide many resources for your education. There is a library in our office with materials that can be checked out by patients or family members.

| Unique Procedures and Treatments We Do |
Hepatic Artery Infusion Chemotherapy
A method of administering chemotherapy directly into liver tumors via the liver artery. It results in much higher response rates and significantly fewer side effects than conventional chemotherapy. Dr. Trezona trained with a pioneer of this technique in Houston, and has 15 years experience in its use. Recent studies now suggest this treatment should be the standard of care for isolated liver tumors which have spread from colon cancer. It is useful for certain other cancers as well.
Sentinel Lymph Node Biopsy
A technique for examining the regional lymph nodes for cancer spread without having to remove the entire lymph node group. Only one or two lymph nodes are removed for study using a sophisticated nuclear technique for mapping which lymph node will be involved first. It is useful for several types of cancer. Dr. Trezona introduced this technique to the region, having a few years experience in its use in Houston before moving here.
Radiofrequency Ablation of Liver Tumors
A surgical technique for killing liver tumors without removing them. The procedure uses a needle array of electrical wires inserted into the liver allowing heating of tumors to about 115 degrees F, causing tumor destruction without sacrificing normal surrounding liver tissue.
Biologic Therapy of Melanoma
Dr. Trezona is the only oncologist between Portland and San Francisco providing comprehensive melanoma care; including chemotherapy, Interferon, Leukine, High dose INterleukin-2, and both inpatient and outpatient Biochemotherapy.
