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.

About Surgical Oncologist

A surgical oncologist is a surgeon specialized in treating cancer that requires surgery to remove tumors and other cancerous tissues. He performs surgeries for removing tumor or cancerous tissues and also the nearby susceptible tissues. Surgical oncologists also perform certain types of biopsies to help in the diagnosis of cancer. They work in coordination with other doctors, specialists and clinicians to help in reducing the pain, side effects, clinicians and speed up the recovery after the surgery.

A surgical oncologist is usually the first specialist doctor you will see if your primary care physician suspects that you have cancer. Surgical oncologist then performs biopsies by taking a small portion of the tissues so that it can be checked for the presence of cancer.

If the presence of cancerous cells gets confirmed then the surgical oncologist will perform surgery to remove the tumor or cancerous cells and the surrounding tissues. The surgeon will also help you prepare for and recover from any surgical procedure that you have to undergo during your cancer treatment.

Most of the patients have cancer surgery combined with other treatments like chemotherapy, radiation therapy or hormone therapy. Sometimes nonsurgical treatments (also known as neoadjuvant therapy) or post-surgery (also known as adjuvant therapy) to help in the prevention of cancer growth, metastasis or recurrence.
