Surgical oncology focuses on the use of surgery to diagnose, identify the stage and treat cancer. It can also be used to manage some types of symptoms associated with cancer. The goal of all types of surgical oncology procedures is to locate and remove the cancerous tumours from the patient's body.

Whether someone needs this type of surgery depends on various factors, including the type of tumour, its size, location, stage and grade. The best surgical oncologists also consider other health factors, such as age, level of physical fitness and any existing health issues that one might have.

Surgical oncology procedures at Narayana Health involve the services of multidisciplinary teams to ensure holistic cancer care and the best results from comprehensive treatment.

Our surgical oncologists take the time to discuss the patient’s cancer diagnosis and the possible treatment options. They are always available to answer any concerns and questions that the patient might have. To ensure that you get the best possible treatment, they work with other healthcare professionals, such as nutritionists and rehabilitation therapists.

A doctor might refer a patient to the surgical oncology department for:

Cancer diagnosis (biopsy or diagnostic surgery)
Tumour removal or removal of the cancerous portion of an organ (debulking or curative surgery)
Identify the location of the cancer, whether it has spread to other parts of the body and is affecting the functions of any other organ (staging surgery)
Removal of cancerous body tissue (preventive surgery)
Support for other treatments, such as fixing an infusion port (supportive surgery)
Restoring the appearance or function of a body part (reconstructive surgery)
Relieving side effects (palliative surgery)
