What is Surgical Oncology?

Surgical oncology is the branch of cancer care that uses surgery to diagnose, stage, and treat cancer. It is often the primary treatment for solid tumours — and plays a key role in a multidisciplinary cancer care plan.

Surgical oncologists perform a range of procedures — from biopsies and tumour removal to lymph node dissection and reconstructive surgery — using both traditional and minimally invasive techniques.

Surgical oncology services are delivered in a modern operation theatre with a strong focus on safety, precision, and post-operative care.

Multidisciplinary Approach

Cancer care is most effective when delivered by a team. Surgical oncology works closely with medical oncology, radiology, pathology, and supportive care to plan the best treatment for each patient.

  • Accurate diagnosis & staging
  • Pre-operative medical evaluation
  • Combined surgery + systemic therapy planning
  • Post-operative chemotherapy / radiation when needed
  • Regular follow-up & surveillance
  • Coordination with supportive care team

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about surgical oncology

No. Surgery is one of several treatment options. Some cancers are treated with chemotherapy, radiation, targeted therapy, or immunotherapy — either alone or combined with surgery.

A frozen section biopsy is a rapid pathology test done during surgery. It helps the surgeon confirm whether the removed tissue is cancer-free at the margins — guiding immediate surgical decisions.

Recovery varies by surgery type and patient health. Minimally invasive surgeries usually allow faster return to activity. Your surgeon will advise on a personalised recovery plan.

A surgical oncologist is trained specifically in cancer surgery. They perform biopsies, tumour removal, lymph node dissection, and reconstructive procedures — and coordinate with the broader cancer care team.
