Surgical Oncology

Oncological surgery involves the surgical removal of tumors and cancerous tissues from the body. It is often a primary or supportive treatment for many types of cancer and may be used alongside chemotherapy, radiation therapy, or targeted therapy.

Our expert surgical team treats a wide range of cancers, including:

Breast cancer

Colorectal cancer

Stomach and esophageal cancer

Liver and pancreatic cancer

Lung cancer (in coordination with Thoracic Surgery)

Thyroid and parathyroid tumors

Ovarian, uterine, and cervical cancers

Skin and soft tissue tumors (melanoma, sarcoma)

Head and neck cancers

Kidney, bladder, and prostate cancers

Not always. Surgery is often part of a multidisciplinary treatment plan. In some cases, non-surgical treatments like chemotherapy or radiotherapy may be used first to shrink tumors. Our team collaborates with medical oncologists and radiologists to determine the best approach.

Yes. Whenever appropriate, we use laparoscopic and robotic-assisted techniques, which result in:

Smaller incisions

Less pain

Faster recovery

Reduced hospital stays

Minimal impact on surrounding healthy tissue

Surgery may also be used to:

Obtain tissue samples for biopsy and staging

Explore the extent of cancer spread

Insert medical devices (e.g., ports or feeding tubes) for cancer treatment

Perform preventive surgery for high-risk patients (e.g., mastectomy for BRCA mutation carriers)

Our surgeons use intraoperative imaging, frozen section pathology, and advanced navigation systems to ensure clear surgical margins—meaning no cancer cells are left behind. This reduces the risk of recurrence.

Yes. In collaboration with our Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery team, we offer procedures such as:

Breast reconstruction after mastectomy

Skin grafts or flap surgery

Reconstructive procedures for head, neck, or abdominal wall defects

Recovery time depends on the type and complexity of the surgery. Some patients go home within a few days, while others may need longer hospitalization or follow-up rehabilitation. We provide detailed post-operative care and support.
