What is Surgical Oncology?

Surgical Oncology is a specialised field of cancer care that involves the use of surgery for diagnosing, staging, treating, or managing cancer.

A Surgical Oncologist evaluates whether surgery may be suitable as part of a patient’s overall cancer treatment plan. Depending on the condition, surgery may be performed to remove tumours, obtain tissue samples for diagnosis, or manage cancer-related complications.

The role of surgery depends on factors such as:

• Type and location of cancer

• Stage of disease

• Tumour characteristics

• Patient’s overall health

• Other planned cancer treatments
