Our division of endocrine surgery is involved in the evaluation and management of diseases of the thyroid, parathyroid, adrenal glands and neuroendocrine tumors of the pancreas and liver. Using state-of-the-art imaging, laboratory, and minimally-invasive techniques along with traditional approaches, endocrine surgeons at Beaumont offer patients effective treatment with safer and easier recovery.
Surgeons work closely with nationally renowned experts in endocrinology, nuclear medicine, radiology and clinical pathology to provide comprehensive multidisciplinary treatment planning and care.
