Cancer surgery, also known as surgical oncology, involves the removal of cancerous tumors and surrounding tissues to treat or control cancer effectively.
Cancer surgery is a key component of cancer treatment that focuses on the surgical removal of tumors and affected tissues. It may be performed to diagnose cancer, remove tumors completely, reduce tumor size, or relieve cancer-related symptoms.
At Suryoday Cancer Centre, surgical oncology is delivered by experienced cancer surgeons using advanced surgical techniques and a multidisciplinary approach. Our goal is to achieve complete tumor removal while preserving organ function, ensuring patient safety, and improving quality of life.

Preparation before surgery
Before cancer surgery, patients undergo comprehensive evaluation including imaging studies, laboratory tests, and medical assessment. The surgical oncology team reviews treatment goals, explains the procedure, and discusses possible risks and recovery expectations.
-
How chemotherapy is given
Cancer surgery is performed using precise surgical techniques to remove tumors along with surrounding tissues when required. Depending on the cancer type and location, minimally invasive or open surgical approaches may be used to achieve optimal outcomes.

After surgery care
After surgery, patients receive close postoperative monitoring and supportive care. Pain management, wound care, rehabilitation, and follow-up visits help ensure safe recovery and reduce the risk of complications or recurrence.
Cancer surgery can remove tumors completely, reduce cancer burden, and improve survival outcomes. It may also relieve symptoms and enhance the effectiveness of other cancer treatments.

Possible risks of cancer surgery include pain, infection, bleeding, or temporary functional limitations. Risks vary depending on the type and extent of surgery and are managed with careful medical supervision.
Surgery may not be suitable for all cancer types or stages. In some cases, additional treatments such as chemotherapy or radiation therapy may be required for comprehensive cancer care.
