Desert Surgical Oncology

Desert Surgical Oncology is a specialized surgical oncology medical practice in Rancho Mirage, California, focused on the treatment of breast, high-risk skin, and soft tissue tumors. The practice is led by David M. Hyams, MD, FACS, and emphasizes personalized, one-on-one cancer care from diagnosis through treatment and follow-up. Its clinical positioning centers on expert surgical management, particularly oncoplastic surgery techniques designed to optimize cancer outcomes while preserving cosmetic and functional results. The practice also highlights integration of tumor biology, including genetic, genomic, proteomic, and circulating tumor marker information, into surgical decision-making. Desert Surgical Oncology appears to operate as an active, physician-led healthcare services practice rather than a drug-development biotech company.
