Transforming Lives with Oncology Surgery
Oncology Surgery is a specialized field of medicine focused on the surgical management of cancer. It involves the removal of malignant tumors and surrounding tissues as part of a broader cancer treatment plan, which may also include chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and targeted therapies. Surgical oncologists play a critical role not only in treating cancer but also in diagnosing and staging it, as well as performing biopsies and palliative surgeries to relieve symptoms.
There are different types of oncologic surgeries depending on the purpose—curative (to remove all cancer), debulking (to reduce tumor burden), diagnostic (biopsy), and palliative (to alleviate discomfort in advanced stages). Common cancers treated with surgery include breast, colon, lung, prostate, pancreatic, and gynecological cancers. Minimally invasive techniques like laparoscopy and robotic surgery are increasingly used to reduce recovery time and complications.

The typical steps involved in Oncology Surgery
Diagnosis & Staging:
Imaging (CT, MRI, PET scans), blood tests, and biopsies to determine tumor type and extent.-
Preoperative Planning:
Evaluation by surgical oncologist, risk assessment, and multidisciplinary tumor board review. -
Surgical Procedure:
-
Tumor removal with or without lymph node dissection
-
Minimally invasive or open surgery depending on the case
-
Reconstruction if necessary (e.g., breast reconstruction)
-
-
Postoperative Care:
Pain management, wound care, monitoring for complications. -
Adjuvant Therapy:
Further treatments like chemotherapy, radiation, or immunotherapy, as advised. -
Follow-Up:
Regular surveillance with scans, blood tests, and physical exams.
