What is Surgical Oncology?

Surgical oncology involves the use of surgery to diagnose, stage, and treat cancer. It plays a central role in cancer care, either as a standalone treatment or in combination with chemotherapy, radiation therapy, or immunotherapy. Surgical procedures can be used to:

• Remove malignant tumors

• Confirm diagnosis via biopsy

• Determine the cancer stage

• Relieve symptoms in advanced cases (palliative surgery)

• Prevent cancer in high-risk patients (preventive surgery)
