Endocrine Cancers Program

The Endocrine Program at Smilow Cancer Hospital is one of the largest multidisciplinary endocrine programs in the country. We evaluate, diagnose, and care for patients with both cancerous and benign tumors of the thyroid, parathyroid, adrenal glands, pituitary gland, hypothalamus, and pancreas. As part of the only endocrine surgery program in Connecticut, our highly trained surgeons collaborate with specialists both at Yale and other institutions in order to provide the most comprehensive, leading-edge surgical treatment available to all of our patients. Our emphasis is on the safest and most minimally invasive surgery with the least amount of discomfort, scarring, and the fastest recovery time for every patient.

The Endocrine Program is experienced in treating rare cancers, such as parathyroid carcinoma, advanced thyroid cancer, adrenal cancer, and pheochromocytoma/paragangliomas, which benefit from this multidisciplinary approach and specialized expertise.
