Surgical Oncology

Oncology Surgery (Surgical Oncology) is a specialized field dedicated to the diagnosis, staging, and surgical management of cancer. Surgical oncologists perform procedures to remove tumors, conduct biopsies, manage complex cancer-related issues, and collaborate with medical and radiation oncologists for comprehensive cancer care. The specialty focuses on organ-specific cancer surgery, minimally invasive techniques, reconstructive procedures, and multidisciplinary tumor board planning to achieve the best outcomes.
