DR. ERIC LIU, MD, FACS
Surgical Director, The Neuroendocrine Institute
Rocky Mountain Cancer Centers
Dr. Eric Liu is a board-certified general surgeon with advanced sub-specialty expertise in neuroendocrine cancers. He is the Surgical Director of The Neuroendocrine Institute at Rocky Mountain Cancer Centers and treats patients with neuroendocrine and carcinoid tumors. His practice encompasses all types of neuroendocrine tumors, including lung, bowel, pancreas, stomach, liver, adrenal, and many more. He sees patients both nationally and internationally.
His philosophy is to help with all aspects of the patient’s care. He employs cutting-edge cancer treatments such as surgery, medications, imaging, liquid radiation, advanced interventional radiology, and transplantation. Dr. Liu uses advanced surgical techniques to debulk tumors to treat symptoms and complications of the disease. Importantly, he employs a multi-modal approach for the best long-term outcomes to improve both quality of life and quantity of life. His favorite saying is, “The art of neuroendocrine is not WHAT to do, it is WHEN to do it.”
Dr. Liu routinely gives lectures on neuroendocrine around the country and internationally. The Neuroendocrine Institute established a new “THERANOSTICS” CENTER that offers Peptide Receptor Radionuclide Therapy (PRRT, Lutathera), Gallium and Copper DOTATATE PET/CT imaging, and nuclear clinical trials. He also works closely with collaborators around the world to provide the newest treatments.
He contributes to national treatment guidelines and practices evidence-based medicine. He is also the founder of the advocacy group The HealingNET Foundation, that focuses on increasing awareness and educating community healthcare providers on the unique care NET patients require.
Dr. Liu works closely with sub-specialists such as other surgeons, radiation oncologists, and interventional radiologists and participates in a regular tumor board conference dedicated just to neuroendocrine cancer. During these tumor boards, cancer experts collaborate and review cases, share knowledge, and determine the best possible treatment for each patient.
