Who is a Surgical Oncologist?

Surgical oncologists are also general surgeons with training in procedures for diagnosing, staging (finding the stage of cancer), and removing any cancerous growths. The most common procedures done by a surgical oncologist are surgery for cancerous growth removal and biopsies. These surgeons can also perform surgery to find the stage of cancer and determine the areas cancer has spread. Under some circumstances, surgical oncologists might also do preventive surgeries. In some specific cases, surgery might be the only treatment you may need. In other cases, you may have surgery as well as get additional treatments like chemotherapy or radiation. In such cases, a surgical oncologist might be an important part of the cancer care team.

To diagnose cancer, a surgical oncologist can perform biopsies. Biopsy procedures might include:

  • Needle biopsies like fine-needle aspiration and core biopsies
  • Abdominal surgery/laparotomy
  • Laparoscopic or endoscopic (surgery using a scope)
  • Excisional (removing a suspicious area, like a mole/tumor)
  • Skin biopsy
  • Incisional (removing a portion of the suspicious area)

After a biopsy, a surgical oncologist will send all tissue samples to a pathologist, who looks for cancer cells. In case cancer is present, you can see a surgical oncologist again to have a tumor removed. A surgical oncologist might also choose to do a staging surgery to determine the size of a tumor and find if cancer has spread.
