Surgical oncology focuses on the use of surgery to diagnose, treat, or help prevent cancer. Surgery may be used to remove a tumor, evaluate whether cancer has spread, relieve symptoms, or support other treatments such as chemotherapy, radiation therapy, immunotherapy, or targeted therapy. The approach your surgeon recommends depends on the type of cancer, the stage of disease, and your overall health and treatment goals. Many cancer surgeries today are performed using minimally invasive techniques that can shorten recovery time and reduce discomfort. Your surgical and oncology teams work closely together to create a coordinated, personalized plan that supports both safety and long-term outcomes.

Targeted therapy is a type of cancer treatment that focuses on targeting specific features or changes within cancer cells. These medications work by blocking signals that cancer cells rely on or by acting directly on cells with certain genetic or molecular characteristics. Targeted therapy is usually recommended when testing shows that a tumor has a feature that matches a particular treatment. It may be used alone or combined with other treatments such as chemotherapy or immunotherapy based on each patient’s diagnosis and personalized care plan.Targeted therapy may be taken as pills or given through an infusion in an outpatient setting. Your care team will determine the most appropriate option for your specific tumor type and will monitor you closely to help manage side effects and ensure the treatment is working as intended.

Tumor resection, also called tumor excision, is a surgical procedure used to remove a tumor from the body. Surgery is often one of the first treatments considered for cancers that can be safely removed, and it may be used to diagnose, treat, or help stage the disease. In many cases, removing the tumor helps reduce symptoms, prevent the cancer from spreading, or improve the effectiveness of other treatments such as chemotherapy, radiation therapy, targeted therapy, or immunotherapy. The type of surgery recommended depends on the location, size, and stage of the tumor, as well as each patient’s overall health and treatment plan.Your surgical and oncology teams will determine the most appropriate approach for your diagnosis and work together to ensure a safe procedure, smooth recovery, and seamless transition to any additional treatments you may need.
