Surgical oncology is the field of cancer care that focuses on surgery to diagnose, stage and treat cancer, and to manage some cancer-related symptoms. Whether a patient is a candidate for cancer surgery depends on factors such as the type, size, location, grade and stage of the tumor. Other general health factors are also taken into account, such as the patient’s age, physical fitness and any coexisting health conditions he or she may have.
Surgical oncologists take the time to discuss each patient’s diagnosis and treatment options with him or her, addressing any questions or concerns. The surgical oncologists work with the other team members—including nutritionists, rehabilitation therapists and naturopathic providers—to anticipate and manage side effects of surgery.
The department has currently one faculty. The outpatient department (OPD) and operative (OT) services have begun at the hospital. Someone with or suspected of having cancer may undergo surgery for many reasons. Surgical oncology may be used to:
Remove a tumor or a portion of the cancer (curative or debulking surgery)
Total neoadjuvant therapy (TNT) for advanced pancreatic cancer.
Minimally invasive and robotic surgery.
Minimally invasive parathyroid (MIP) surgery.
Oncoplastic surgery and immediate reconstruction.
Oncologists are doctors who help to prevent and to treat cancer. They work with your primary care doctor to come up with a treatment plan for you. Surgical oncologists use surgery to improve your condition. Their main job is to remove tumors and nearby tissue that has cancer cells in it. They also do procedures called biopsies that tell if you have cancer and how severe it is.
