Cancer Surgery Department

The Cancer Surgery Department specializes in the diagnosis, treatment, and surgical management of cancer, providing personalized care for each patient.

Cancer diagnosis and staging:

• Performing biopsies to obtain tissue samples for analysis
• Conducting imaging tests (CT scans, MRI, PET scans) to determine the extent of cancer

Surgical removal of tumors:

• Curative surgery: Aiming to completely remove the cancer
• Cytoreductive surgery: Reducing the size of the tumor to enhance the effectiveness of chemotherapy or radiation
• Debulking surgery: Removing as much of the tumor as possible to relieve symptoms

Reconstructive surgery:

• Rebuilding body parts that have been removed during cancer surgery (e.g., breast reconstruction after mastectomy)

Minimally invasive surgery:

• Laparoscopic surgery and robotic surgery offering smaller incisions, less pain, and faster recovery

Palliative care:

• Surgical procedures aimed at relieving pain and improving the quality of life for patients with advanced cancer

Multidisciplinary care:

• Collaboration with specialists such as medical oncologists, radiation oncologists, and pathologists to develop the optimal treatment plan for each patient
