Liver conditions may range from non-cancerous conditions, such as cysts, to cancer. Liver cancer (hepatocellular cancer) is a type of gastrointestinal cancer that can form anywhere in the liver. Liver cancer that has spread to the liver from other parts of the body is called secondary liver cancer. Our specialists treat the following liver conditions:

Pancreas conditions may range from inflammatory conditions, such as chronic pancreatitis, to cancer. Pancreatic cancer is a gastrointestinal cancer that forms in the pancreas, the organ behind the stomach that helps with digestion and blood sugar regulation. Our specialists treat the following pancreas conditions:
- Chronic and acute pancreatitis
- Pancreatic pseudocysts
- Pancreatic neuroendocrine (islet cell) tumors

Bile duct conditions may range from autoimmune diseases, such as primary biliary cirrhosis, to cancer. Bile duct cancer begins in the bile ducts within the liver. The bile ducts carry digestive fluid and connect the liver to the small intestine and gall bladder. Our specialists treat the following bile duct conditions:
