FAQ's Related to Surgical Oncologist

What does a surgical oncologist do?

A surgical oncologist is a cancer specialist who employs surgery to stage, diagnose, and treat the disease. While their primary role is to excise tumors or affected tissue, they also collaborate with medical and radiation oncologists to coordinate overall cancer therapy.

When should you go to see a surgical oncologist?

After a diagnosis of cancer, surgery may be included in your treatment.

  • A tumor or lump has been found and needs to be removed or biopsied.
  • You desire a second opinion for your cancer surgery options.
  • Because of your suspicious results and high-risk category (such as extensive family history),
  • You've already undergone cancer treatments, and it is recommended that you undergo further surgery or have any remaining tissue removed.
What are the tests required before and during consultation by a surgical oncologist?

The tests required before and during the consultation by a surgical oncologist include:

  • Biopsy
  • Imaging Tests
  • Cancer Screening
  • Laboratory Tests
  • Physical Exam

Most cancer patients undergo a biopsy to remove a sample of tissues from a body part for examination by a pathologist so that cancer can be diagnosed.
