Oncological surgery is a surgical technique that aims to remove cancerous tumors from the body. It is used as part of a treatment for cancer and can help prevent or reduce the effects of the disease.
It can be used to remove the tumor, part or all of the affected organ, or to perform biopsies to diagnose cancer.
There are several different types of oncological surgery. The type of surgery that is used depends on the type of cancer, the location of the tumor, the size and severity of the disease.
Oncological surgeries can include tumor removal surgeries, resection surgeries, organ removal surgeries, lymph node removal surgeries, reconstruction surgeries, tissue reconfiguration surgeries and prosthesis implant procedures, and can offer many benefits.
Removing the tumor and affected areas can help prevent cancer from spreading to other parts of the body. Surgery can also help reduce symptoms related to cancer, such as pain, swelling and weight loss. In addition, oncological surgery can help improve the patient‘s quality of life, allowing them to continue performing daily activities.
It is important that patients work closely with their doctors to determine the best possible treatment.
