FAQs
What is the difference between surgical oncology and general surgery?

General surgery does not handle specialized cases involving cancer. A surgical oncologist is trained on surgical procedures and techniques to treat cancer.

Is surgery effective in treating cancer?

The effectiveness of cancer treatment depends on the cancer stage. When detected early, surgery ensures that cancer cells and all affected tissues are removed. This can ensure cancer is completely treated. In advanced stages, cancer would have to spread to other parts making treatment all the more difficult.

What cancers can be treated through surgery?

Surgery is generally the first line of treatment for any form of cancer, especially in the early stages. It can be used to treat most type of cancers, including breast cancer, coloractal cancer, pancreatic cancer, liver cancer, cancer of the head and neck, lung cancer, ovarian cancer etc.

Does surgical oncology require the use of anaethesia?

Yes, anaesthesia is needed to carry out surgeries. General anaesthesia can be used to make the patient unconscious, while the surgery is carried out. Many minor surgeries can be done using local anaesthesia with sedation to keep the patient comfortable. The type of surgery and the patient’s overall health is considered while deciding on the use of anaesthesia. A surgical oncologist would work along with an anaesthetist during the surgery.

Why is surgery in cancer care needed?

Surgery in cancer care is needed to

  • Diagnose and stage a cancer
  • Remove the cancer or tumour
  • Remove a part of tumour. Sometimes, removing all the tumour or cancer can’t be safely done. So, surgeons perform debulking surgery and remove part of the tumour without harming other parts of the body.
  • Alleviate the symptoms caused by the cancer. This is also known as palliative surgery.
  • Change the condition of the body after surgery. This is called restorative or reconstructive surgery.
How is surgery used with other cancer treatments?

In some patients, surgery is the only treatment option. However, surgery is done along with other treatments in many patients, such as chemotherapy, targeted or immune therapies, radiation therapy and harmone therapy.
Surgery can be neoadjuvant and adjuvant. Neoadjuvant means that surgery is performed after other treatment.
