Read ArticleThe Surgical Oncology department provides specialized surgical care for patients with cancer, including cancer evaluation, staging, surgical planning, tumour removal, post-operative care, and follow-up based on the patient's diagnosis and treatment needs.
A Surgical Oncologist may be consulted when cancer is suspected or diagnosed and surgery may be considered as part of treatment. The specialist evaluates the type, location, stage, and extent of the cancer to determine whether surgical treatment may be appropriate.
Cancer surgery may involve removing a tumour, surrounding tissues, or nearby lymph nodes when clinically required. The type of procedure depends on the cancer type, location, stage, size, and the individual patient's treatment plan.
Surgical planning is based on the cancer diagnosis, pathology findings, imaging studies, stage of the disease, tumour location, previous treatments, and the patient's overall health. The surgical team develops an individualized approach based on these clinical factors.
After surgery, patients receive appropriate post-operative care, including recovery monitoring, pain management, wound care, and assessment of surgical outcomes. Pathology findings are reviewed during follow-up to determine whether any additional cancer treatment may be required.
Yes. Follow-up care is an important part of the surgical oncology journey. Patients may be monitored for recovery, wound healing, pathology results, treatment response, and any further oncology care that may be recommended based on their individual condition.
