  • What is  surgical oncology ?

    Surgical oncology is a specialized branch of medicine focused on the surgical management of cancer. It involves the use of surgery to diagnose, stage, and treat cancer, as well as to manage cancer-related symptoms and complications. Surgical oncologists are specially trained to perform operations aimed at removing tumors and surrounding tissues, and they often work as part of a multidisciplinary team alongside medical oncologists, radiation oncologists, pathologists, and other specialists.

    Key roles of surgical oncology include:

    1. Curative Surgery: Removing cancerous tumors entirely when possible.
    2. Debulking Surgery: Reducing the size of a tumor to improve the efficacy of other treatments like chemotherapy or radiation.
    3. Diagnostic Procedures: Biopsies to determine the type and extent of cancer.
    4. Palliative Surgery: Relieving symptoms or improving quality of life in advanced cancer stages.
    5. Reconstructive Surgery: Restoring appearance or functionality after tumor removal, such as breast reconstruction post-mastectomy.
