Oncology surgeries help in the diagnosis, staging and treating cancer. Surgical oncologists also manage the pain and comfort of their patients. Therapies like chemotherapy and targeted medication are used to treat the patient.
Some of the fields we specialize in are mentioned as follows–
- Breast Cancer Surgery– In this surgery, the part of breast containing the cancer is removed. There are various kinds of breast surgery such as lumpectomy, quadrantectomy, partial mastectomy, and mastectomy.
- Liver Cancer Surgery– The best cure to liver cancer is either surgical resection or liver transplant. Small liver cancers can be cured by other techniques such as ablation or radiation.
- Esophageal Cancer Surgery– In this surgery, a part of esophagus and nearby lymph nodes are removed to cure the cancer. If the cancer has not yet spread to the other parts, then this surgery mostly is successful. It is also called esophagectomy.
- Pancreatic Cancer Surgery– Whipple procedure is the most common procedure used to remove pancreatic tumors. This surgery includes the removal of the head of the pancreas (and sometimes body), duodenum (the first part of small intestine), part of stomach (in some cases), gallbladder and part of common bile duct, and nearby lymph nodes.
