Endocrine Oncology Center

Weill Cornell Medicine’s endocrine surgeons and specialized clinical staff aim to provide comprehensive care for tumors of the thyroid, parathyroid gland, adrenal gland, as well as endocrine tumors of the gastrointestinal tract and pancreas — from the more common cancers like papillary thyroid cancer to rare cancers like adrenal carcinoma or neuroendocrine carcinomas of the intestine.

Endocrine Oncology in New York

We offer cutting-edge treatments for patients that reduce recovery time and take a collaborative approach to care, pairing patients with a team of specialists who tailor therapies specifically for each person under their care. Our physicians also follow their patients through the spectrum of additional cancer treatments they may receive as part of their endocrine cancer diagnosis.

At WCM, we understand the importance of quickly diagnosing and treating an endocrine tumor, as well as keeping your convenience in mind.  To this end, at your initial consultation you will have a comprehensive evaluation and discussion about your tumor with our physicians.  Additionally, our endocrine surgeons offer quick bedside diagnostic procedures during this office visit, such as ultrasound-guided fine needle aspiration biopsy of thyroid nodules and flexible laryngoscopy to evaluate your vocal cords.  It is our goal to provide comprehensive and efficient care to our patients.

In the operating room, our endocrine surgeons use minimally invasive techniques to reduce the appearance of neck scars for thyroid and parathyroid surgery. Adrenal, complex gastrointestinal, and pancreatic surgery is routinely approached laparoscopically or robotically using a thin, lighted tube inserted through small incisions, allowing most patients to shorten their recovery time and return to normal daily activities in less time.

Our experts are also thought leaders and practicing researchers in endocrine surgery, endocrinology, nuclear medicine, hematology and oncology, pathology, gastroenterology, interventional radiology, otolaryngology, neurosurgery, and genetics— giving patients access to the latest medical advances as well as clinical trials for new and innovative treatments that may not be available anywhere else.

After treatment, we enroll you in our longitudinal active surveillance program to closely monitor your care, which includes bloodwork, imaging, and office visits at regular intervals.  Furthermore, our Endocrine Oncology Center is a leader in clinical and translational research that gives you the opportunity to participate in research studies if you are interested.
