Surgical Oncologist

What is Surgical Oncology?

Surgical oncology, a branch of surgical specialty, deals specifically with cancer diagnosis, treatment, and management. Surgical oncologists traditionally perform tumor resections and biopsies, aid in cancer staging, and help assess the extent of disease. Surgical oncologists cooperate with other specialists like medical oncologists, radiation oncologists, and pathologists who help tailor treatment plans and design individual protocols for their patients.

Treatment Options

Comprehensive care for cancer patients includes a variety of services that we provide, such as:

1. Surgical Oncology Consultations
Our consultations involve thorough evaluations and understanding of the diagnosis, treatment options, and possible outcomes.

2. Operations for Cancer
Operations we do on many cancers include:

• Breast Cancer Surgery: Lumpectomy, mastectomy, lymph node biopsy, and some options for reconstruction.
• Colorectal Cancer Surgery: Minimally invasive and traditional approaches to removing the tumor and restoring bowel function.
• Hepatobiliary and Pancreatic Cancer Surgery: Complex surgery to remove a tumor/mass from the liver or pancreas.
• Other Cancer Surgeries: We operate on other cancers, including the stomach, esophagus, skin, and many others.

3. Minimally Invasive Surgery
When possible, care is provided using minimally invasive techniques, including laparoscopic surgery, easing the recovery time, lessening postoperative pain, and minimizing complications.

4. Tumor Ablation or Biopsy
We utilize state-of-the-art equipment to ablate the tumor, or the biopsy to render a definitive diagnosis for cancer.

5. Multidisciplinary Care Coordination
Cancer care must involve teamwork. We work with medical oncologists, radiation oncologists, and other specialists to design a wide-ranging treatment plan.
