A surgical oncologist performs procedures like biopsy and surgery to remove cancerous tissues. In some cases, a surgical oncologist performs surgeries to find out parts of the body where cancer has spread. In special cases, the surgeons do preventive surgeries. Sometimes, additional treatments like chemotherapy or radiation follow surgery. In these cases, surgical oncologists play an important role in providing care to the patients post-surgery.
