Surgical oncology ?
Surgical Oncology is a specialized field within oncology that focuses on the surgical management of cancer. It involves the removal of tumors and cancerous tissues, sometimes along with adjacent structures, to achieve cancer control or cure. Surgical oncologists also play a key role in diagnosis, staging, reconstruction, and palliative care.
Key Aspects of Surgical Oncology
Role in Cancer Care
- Diagnosis: Biopsies and excisions for definitive histopathological diagnosis.
- Staging: Surgery often helps determine the extent of disease, such as lymph node dissections or laparoscopic staging.
- Curative Surgery: Removing the entire tumor, often with clear margins.
- Cytoreductive Surgery: Reducing tumor burden to improve outcomes with adjuvant therapies.
- Palliative Surgery: Relieving symptoms like obstruction, bleeding, or pain in advanced cancers.
- Reconstructive Surgery: Restoring form and function post-tumor removal, especially in head and neck, breast, or pelvic surgeries..
Types of Surgical Procedures
- Conventional Open Surgery: Traditional method for large or complex tumors
- Minimally Invasive Surgery: Laparoscopic or robotic surgeries for better recovery and precision.
- Oncoplastic Surgery: Combining oncological and plastic surgery principles, especially in breast cancer.
Multidisciplinary Approach:
- Surgical oncologists work closely with medical oncologists, radiation oncologists, pathologists, and radiologists to develop comprehensive treatment plans.
Advances in Surgical Oncology
- Robotic-assisted surgeries for precision and minimal invasiveness.
- Intraoperative radiation therapy (IORT) for localized dose escalation.
- Sentinel lymph node biopsy for staging and reducing extensive lymph node dissections.
- Hyperthermic Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy (HIPEC) following cytoreductive surgery in select peritoneal cancers.
Training and Expertise
- Surgical oncologists undergo specialized training beyond general surgery, focusing on the unique challenges of managing malignancies
