What is Surgical Oncology

Surgical Oncology is a field of medicine that uses surgery to treat cancer. The main objective of surgical oncology is to remove cancerous tumors and affected tissues from the body. This can be done through various surgical techniques, including open surgery and minimally invasive procedures.

By focusing on these areas, surgical oncologists contribute largely to improving cancer treatment outcomes and enhancing patients’ quality of life.
