FAQ's Related to Surgical Oncologist

What does a surgical oncologist do?

A surgical oncologist is a general surgeon with training in various procedures for diagnosing or removing cancerous growths. The common procedures performed by a surgical oncologist are biopsy and surgery for the removal of cancerous growth. Surgical oncologists choose to perform surgeries to find out the locations where cancer has spread. While treating cancer, a surgical oncologist might remove cancerous tumors and surrounding healthy tissues, and nearby lymph nodes. The surgical procedures used will vary depending on the aim of the surgery. Surgical oncologists might do minimally invasive procedures or open surgeries.

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.

When should you go to see a surgical oncologist?

You may see a surgical oncologist in case you have abnormal growth or tumor. If your primary doctor suspects cancer, they will refer you to a surgical oncologist for diagnosis. If you have been diagnosed with cancer, a doctor will refer you to surgical oncologists for your cancer treatment. Below are some situations when you need to see a surgical oncologist:

  1. Unusual cancer like head or neck cancer.
  2. Complex cancer can spread to multiple body parts.
  3. Cancer recurrence
  4. Cancer that is difficult to treat
  5. For in-depth evaluation and treatment plan
  6. You want a second opinion about cancer diagnosis
