Surgical Oncology

The focus of sugical oncology is to remove the cancerous tissue. On occasions it is done to diagnose and stage the cancer, as well as to relieve the pain and other cancer related symptoms. However, the team based collaborative approach at Sammprada enables combining evidence based surgical techniques with other medical care including wellness initiatives, as detailed in the patient’s comprehensive treatment plan.

The surgical intervention for a patient is determined based on tumor factors such as type, size, location, grade and its stage. Some of the general health factors which are considered include age, physical fitness and co-existing medical conditions.

The technical expertise and experience of Surgeons at Sammprada enables the management of advanced and complex tumors. Certain palliative surgical procedures are also performed to relieve pain, as well as improve the quality of patient’s life.

Some surgical techniques focus on tumor resection, and others such as biopsy enable the diagnosis of cancer. Also, tumors could be resected in total or partial (debulking), depending on the clinical implications. On some occasions, normal tissue which have the potential to become cancerous are removed in the course of ‘Preventive surgery’. ‘Reconstructive surgery’ enables restoring the body’s appearnace or functioning of the organ system.
