What is Surgical Oncology

Surgical oncology is a medical specialty that uses surgery to diagnose, treat, and prevent cancer. Surgical oncologists learn how to perform different surgeries based on the cancer’s type, location, and stage. They aim to confirm the diagnosis and stage by taking biopsies or removing tumours, get rid of the primary tumours and affected lymph nodes or organs, lower the cancer risk with preventive surgery, increase the treatment effectiveness with supportive surgery, restore the body function/appearance after surgery, and ease the cancer-related pain with palliative surgery. They use techniques such as open, minimally invasive, or robotic surgery. This complex and changing field requires teamwork among various experts such as medical oncologists, radiation oncologists, pathologists, radiologists, nurses, and others. For specialised care and consultation, book an appointment at top oncology hospitals in India like C.K.R.D Hospital.

Some of the common procedures performed at C.K.R.D Hospitalfor surgical oncology are:

• Colectomy: This procedure involves the surgical removal of all or part of the colon (large intestine). It is commonly performed to treat conditions such as colon cancer, diverticulitis, and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Colectomy can be performed through traditional open surgery or minimally invasive techniques such as laparoscopic or robotic-assisted surgery.
• Liver biopsy: A liver biopsy is a procedure to obtain a small sample of liver tissue for examination under a microscope. It helps in diagnosing various liver conditions, including liver cancer, cirrhosis, and hepatitis. The biopsy can be performed using a needle inserted through the skin (percutaneous biopsy), during surgery, or via laparoscopy.
• Lumpectomy: Also known as breast-conserving surgery, lumpectomy involves the surgical removal of a tumour (lump) and a small margin of surrounding healthy breast tissue. It is commonly performed to treat early-stage breast cancer while preserving as much of the breast as possible. Lumpectomy is often followed by radiation therapy to reduce the risk of cancer recurrence.
• Mastectomy: Mastectomy involves surgically removing one or both breasts. This procedure is used to treat breast cancer when a lumpectomy isn't possible or when cancer has spread throughout the breast. Types of mastectomy procedures include total (simple) mastectomy, skin-sparing mastectomy, and nipple-sparing mastectomy. Reconstruction options may be available following mastectomy.
• Mohs surgery: Mohs micrographic surgery is a specialised technique used to treat certain types of skin cancer, particularly those with high-risk features or located in cosmetically sensitive areas. During Mohs surgery, doctors remove thin layers of skin and check it under a microscope until they no longer find any cancer cells, which helps to minimize damage to healthy tissue.
• Sentinel node biopsy: This procedure involves the removal and examination of the sentinel lymph node(s), which is the first lymph node(s) to which cancer cells are likely to spread from a primary tumour. Sentinel node biopsy helps determine the extent of cancer spread and guides further treatment decisions, such as the need for additional lymph node removal or adjuvant therapy.
• Endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR): EMR is a minimally invasive procedure used to remove abnormal tissue (lesions or early-stage cancers) from the digestive tract, including the oesophagus, stomach, and colon. It is performed using an endoscope equipped with special instruments to lift and remove the targeted tissue, allowing for precise and localised treatment while preserving surrounding healthy tissue.
