Surgical Oncology

Surgical Oncology is a specialised branch of medicine dedicated to the surgical management of cancer. It involves the diagnosis, staging, and treatment of various malignancies through surgical intervention. Surgeons in this field possess expertise in oncologic principles, utilising advanced surgical techniques to remove tumours while preserving surrounding healthy tissues and organs whenever possible.

Surgical Oncology plays a critical role in the multidisciplinary approach to cancer care, often collaborating closely with medical oncologists, radiation oncologists, pathologists, and other healthcare professionals to develop comprehensive treatment plans tailored to each patient's specific needs. Surgeons in this field undergo rigorous training and stay abreast of the latest advancements in oncologic surgery to provide the highest standard of care.

The goal of Surgical Oncology is to achieve complete tumour resection, minimise the risk of cancer recurrence, and improve overall survival rates for cancer patients.

This may involve performing various types of surgeries to alleviate symptoms and improve quality of life.

Through skillful surgical intervention, Surgical Oncology aims to offer patients the best possible chance of a successful outcome in their cancer treatment journey.
