The Cancer Center is designated as a comprehensive community cancer program by the American College of Surgeons Commission on Cancer (CoC).

Gynecological Surgery
For patients requiring gynecological surgery, surgeons at St. Anthony’s Hospital offer procedures on both an outpatient and inpatient basis. Many gynecological conditions can be treated through a minimally invasive approach. Robotic surgery is an alternative to traditional surgery and offers many benefits to patients including less pain, a faster recovery, shorter hospital stay, less risk of infection and smaller scar. Surgeons also benefit from robotic surgery by gaining a high-resolution visual field, enhanced dexterity and better access to surgical sites.
At St. Anthony’s Hospital, our surgeons use Firefly™ technology for robotic surgeries. Firefly™ uses a special dye that highlights the difference between cancerous and healthy tissues. It is especially effective during surgery for kidney, colon and uterine cancer. Learn more about Firefly technology.
