Surgery
Cancer surgery is a key treatment option that involves the removal of tumors or cancer-affected tissues. It may be performed to diagnose cancer, remove the disease, reduce tumor size, or relieve symptoms.
What Is Cancer Surgery?
Cancer surgery involves the precise removal of cancerous tissue while preserving as much healthy tissue as possible. Depending on the type and stage of cancer, surgery may be used alone or combined with chemotherapy, radiation therapy, or other treatments.
Types of Cancer Surgery
1. Curative Surgery
Performed to completely remove cancer when it is localized and operable.
2. Diagnostic Surgery
Used to obtain tissue samples or confirm the presence and extent of cancer.
3. Debulking Surgery
Removal of as much tumor tissue as possible when complete removal is not feasible.
4. Palliative Surgery
Performed to relieve symptoms and improve comfort in advanced-stage cancer.
