Surgical oncologists treat various types of cancers, including breast cancer, colon cancer, lung cancer, melanoma, and more. They perform surgeries to remove cancerous tumors and surrounding tissues.
Surgical oncologists play a vital role in the treatment of cancer by performing surgical procedures to remove tumors, biopsy suspicious tissues, and assess the extent of cancer spread.
Surgical oncologists utilize various techniques, including minimally invasive surgery (laparoscopic or robotic), traditional open surgery, and complex procedures such as cytoreductive surgery with hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC).
Preparation for surgery may involve undergoing pre-operative tests, following specific dietary guidelines, discontinuing certain medications, and discussing any concerns or questions with your surgical oncologist.
Risks of cancer surgery include bleeding, infection, damage to surrounding organs or tissues, blood clots, and adverse reactions to anesthesia. Your surgical oncologist will discuss these risks with you before the procedure.
Recovery after cancer surgery varies depending on the type and extent of the procedure. It may involve pain management, physical therapy, dietary adjustments, and follow-up appointments with your surgical oncologist.
Follow-up appointments with your surgical oncologist are typically scheduled at regular intervals to monitor your recovery, assess for any signs of cancer recurrence, and address any concerns you may have.
