Cancer Surgery
Cancer Surgery
Cancer Surgery — an operation to remove part of your body (the tumor and nearby tissue) to diagnose or treat cancer — remains the foundation of cancer treatment.
There are many types of surgeries. The types differ based on the purpose of surgery, part of the body that requires surgery, amount of tissue removal and in some cases, what a patient prefers.
Cancer Surgery may be open or minimally invasive (Laparoscopy and Endoscopy).
At Dr. Kanekar’s Shree Surgical & General Hospital, depending on your type of cancer and how advanced it is, the surgery performed by our experienced surgical oncologist can be used to: Remove the entire tumor, Debulk a tumor and Ease cancer symptoms.
