Understanding Surgical Oncology

Surgical oncology is a specialized branch of surgery focused on the diagnosis, treatment, and management of cancer through surgical procedures. It involves removing tumors, affected tissues, and sometimes lymph nodes.

We perform surgeries for breast cancer, gastrointestinal cancers (colon, stomach, liver), thyroid cancer, head and neck tumors, gynecological cancers, urological cancers, and more.

Not always. Surgery may be used alone or in combination with chemotherapy, radiation, or immunotherapy, depending on the cancer type, stage, and patient condition.

A surgical oncologist is a cancer surgery specialist who evaluates patients, determines surgical need, performs the procedure, and collaborates with the oncology team for comprehensive cancer care.

Before Surgery

The decision is based on imaging, biopsy results, blood work, and overall health. A multidisciplinary tumor board often reviews complex cases for the best approach.

Common pre-surgical tests include CT/MRI scans, PET scans, biopsies, blood tests, and ECG or chest X-ray to assess surgical fitness.

Surgery is scheduled based on urgency, tumor type, pre-operative evaluation, and overall treatment plan. We prioritize timely intervention to improve outcomes.

During and After Surgery

Depending on the case, we use open surgery, laparoscopic (minimally invasive) methods, or robotic-assisted surgery for precision and faster recovery.

It varies with the procedure, typically ranging from 2 to 7 days. Minimally invasive surgeries often require shorter hospital stays.

Yes, many patients require post-operative treatments such as chemotherapy, radiation, or hormone therapy. This is planned by your oncology team based on surgical outcomes and cancer type.

Recovery and Support

Empire Hospital offers post-surgical rehabilitation, nutritional counseling, pain management, psychological support, and cancer survivorship programs.

Yes, regular follow-ups are essential to monitor for recurrence and manage side effects. Follow-up schedules vary by cancer type and stage.
