About Surgical Oncology

Surgical oncologists remove tumours and, where needed, nearby lymph nodes as part of cancer treatment. Surgery is often combined with chemotherapy, radiotherapy or other treatments planned by a multidisciplinary tumour board. Many surgical oncology procedures are short, planned interventions affecting the breast and other organs affected by cancer.

The type and extent of surgery depend on the cancer's type, size and stage. For breast cancer, for example, many patients can have breast-conserving surgery rather than a full mastectomy.

Conditions

Breast Cancer

Breast cancer is the most common cancer among women in India. Found early, it is highly treatable, usually with a combination of surgery and other therapies.

Treatments

Breast-Conserving Surgery

The tumour is removed with a margin of healthy tissue while the rest of the breast is kept, usually followed by radiotherapy.

Mastectomy

The whole breast is removed to treat or reduce the risk of breast cancer, sometimes with reconstruction at the same time.

FAQs

Is surgery always part of cancer treatment?

No. Some cancers are treated primarily with chemotherapy or radiotherapy. When surgery is used, it may come before or after other treatments.

Should I get a second opinion?

Many patients do, and it is a reasonable step for a major cancer operation. It rarely delays care significantly if arranged promptly.

How do I book a consultation?

Fill in the short form on this page with your name, phone number, condition and city. Our team will call you back to understand your needs and arrange a consultation — no account is needed.

Does Go Surgery help with insurance and EMI?

Our team can check your policy for cashless eligibility, and you can ask about EMI options — where available, eligibility and terms are set by the lender.

Which surgical oncology treatments are listed on Go Surgery?

Breast-Conserving Surgery and Mastectomy. Each treatment has its own page with the procedure, recovery and risks.

How long does a surgical oncology procedure take?

Typical operating times for surgical oncology treatments on Go Surgery range from 1 to 3 hours, longer with reconstruction. Your surgeon will tell you how long your procedure is expected to take.

Is surgical oncology treatment a day-care procedure, or will I be admitted?

Typical hospital stays for surgical oncology treatments range from 1 to 3 days. The treatment page gives the typical stay for each procedure.

What anaesthesia is used for surgical oncology procedures?

Usually general anaesthesia, depending on the procedure. The anaesthetist confirms the plan with you before surgery.

What are the risks of surgical oncology procedures?

Every operation carries some risk, such as bleeding, infection or a reaction to anaesthesia. Each treatment page lists the specific risks, and your surgeon will explain them for your case.

Should I get a second opinion before a surgical oncology procedure?

A second opinion is reasonable before any planned operation. Go Surgery can arrange a consultation with another listed surgical oncology doctor.
