Biography

Dr. Hansen is the director of surgical oncology for Providence Cancer Center, medical director of Providence Hepatobiliary and Pancratic Surgery Program, and medical director of Providence Liver Cancer Clinic.

"I spent 10 years in surgical training developing the technical skills I would use for a career in Minimally Invasive and Liver and Pancreas Surgery. My real education, however, has come in my practice when I have learned to apply these skills individually to patients. Each patient presents a unique set of challenges, both medical and social. Meeting my patients and taking the time to understanding their needs, desires and expectations will ultimately help assure that they get the best outcome possible." - Paul Hansen, MD
