Surgical oncologists help diagnose, stage, and treat cancer through surgery. They also perform biopsies and tumour excisions to assess the extent of cancer. They collaborate with other specialists in the healthcare team to create a comprehensive treatment plan. Their goal is to eliminate cancer while preserving organ function to improve patients’ quality of life.

A surgical oncologist has specialised training in diagnosing, staging, and surgically removing cancerous tumours, unlike a general surgeon who performs surgery on a wide range of conditions, primarily focusing on the abdomen, digestive system and other major organs.

Our team of doctors at Manipal Hospitals Rangapani offers specialised surgical interventions for a wide range of cancers, including breast, head and neck, gastrointestinal, gynaecological, urological cancers, and soft tissue sarcomas, utilising the latest techniques.

Surgical oncologists recommend surgery in specific situations, such as

• When the tumour is localised and can be safely removed

• For diagnostic confirmation through Biopsy

• To determine the stage of the cancer

• To relieve symptoms like obstruction or bleeding

• For preventive removal of high-risk tissue

Surgery is not always necessary. Need for surgery depends on cancer type, stage, and patient health. It is usually part of a multidisciplinary plan, and may be done alongside chemotherapy or radiation.

A surgical oncologist will review your medical history, perform a physical exam, and assess diagnostic tests. They will explain the cancer stage and surgical options and outline a recovery and follow-up plan.

Recovery time varies based on the type of surgery and overall health. Minor procedures may heal in a few days, while major surgeries may take weeks or months. The cancer care team provides wound care, pain management, physiotherapy, and support for resuming daily activities.

Following surgery, post-operative care focuses on recovery, managing side effects, and further treatment planning, guided by your surgical team.
