Surgeons are often on the front line of fighting cancer.
Their screening, investigation and treatment techniques often direct other courses of treatment such as radiation oncology and chemotherapy. Surgeons are an integral part of detection and care of cancer in the Oswego community. Local surgeons can treat four out of five of these cancers. Oswego Hospital Surgeons Dr. James Boles, Dr. Christopher Rogers and Dr. William Kibbey said that nearly two thirds of their respective practices are dedicated to the investigation and care of cancer. Eighty-five to ninety percent of all cancer has some kind of surgery involved.
