MBBS · MS · M.Ch Surgical Oncology
A Surgical Oncologist specialises in the surgical evaluation and treatment of cancer.
Surgery can play an important role in treating selected cancers, particularly when a tumour can be removed safely and completely.
However, cancer surgery is not appropriate for every patient. The decision depends on the cancer type, stage, tumour location, involvement of surrounding structures and the overall treatment plan.
The role of surgery varies according to the cancer and its stage.
For selected localised cancers, surgery may be used to remove the primary tumour and surrounding tissue when clinically appropriate.
Depending on the cancer, nearby lymph nodes may be evaluated or removed as part of cancer surgery and staging.
Some patients receive chemotherapy, radiation or other treatment before surgery. This approach depends on the cancer and treatment plan.
Laparoscopic or other minimally invasive approaches may be considered for selected cancers when clinically suitable.
Some cancers require more extensive surgery involving organs or structures near the tumour.
In selected advanced cancers, surgery may sometimes be considered to manage complications or improve symptoms.
Surgical oncology may form part of the treatment pathway for different solid tumours.
For selected cancers and suitable patients, minimally invasive surgical approaches may be considered. These techniques use smaller surgical access points and specialised instruments.
Whether minimally invasive surgery is appropriate depends on the cancer type, tumour location, stage, previous treatment, patient's anatomy and the surgeon's assessment.
The objective is not simply to use a particular surgical technique, but to select an approach that is appropriate for the patient's cancer and treatment goals.
