About Surgical Oncologist Doctors

Conditions Treated by a Surgical Oncologist

Breast Cancer

Most common cancer in Indian women. Surgical oncologists perform lumpectomy or mastectomy as part of multimodal treatment.

Colorectal Cancer

Cancer of the colon or rectum. Incidence is rising in India, especially in urban populations.

Stomach (Gastric) Cancer

Cancer of the stomach lining. More common in India's southern and north-eastern states.

Head and Neck Cancers

Cancers of the oral cavity, tongue, throat, and larynx. Strongly linked to tobacco and betel nut chewing — very common in India.

Soft Tissue Sarcomas

Rare cancers arising from muscle, fat, nerves, or blood vessels. Can occur anywhere in the body.

Cancer Surgery Tips

  • Get surgery at a high-volume cancer centre
  • Optimize nutrition before surgery
  • Ask about minimally invasive options
  • Complete recommended post-surgery treatment

How to Prepare for Cancer Surgery

Before Your Visit

  • Get all staging investigations completed — CT/MRI/PET scans, biopsy reports, blood tumour markers
  • Optimise nutrition — high-protein diet before surgery improves healing (consult dietitian if needed)
  • Stop smoking — wound complications and infections are significantly higher in smokers
  • Discuss blood bank arrangements — some cancer surgeries may require blood transfusion

During the Appointment

  • Family should be available for consent discussions and updates during surgery
  • Ask about drain tubes and when they will be removed — drains are common after cancer surgery
  • Early mobilisation is encouraged — get out of bed as soon as the surgical team allows
  • Pain management will be provided — inform the nursing staff if pain is not adequately controlled

After the Visit

  • Attend post-operative follow-up for pathology results — final staging is based on surgical specimen analysis
  • Start adjuvant treatment (chemo/radiation) within the timeframe recommended — delays reduce effectiveness
  • Follow the surveillance schedule — regular scans and blood tests detect recurrence early
  • Seek psycho-oncology support if needed — cancer diagnosis and treatment affect mental health significantly

Questions to Ask Your Surgical Oncologist

  1. 1.What stage is my cancer and what does that mean?
  2. 2.Can the tumour be removed completely?
  3. 3.Will I need chemotherapy or radiation before or after surgery?
  4. 4.Is organ-preserving surgery possible?
  5. 5.Should I get a second opinion before surgery?
  6. 6.What is my tumour board's recommendation?

When Should You See a Surgical Oncologist?

A Surgical Oncologist specializes in removing cancerous tumours through surgery, often as part of a multi-disciplinary cancer treatment team.

  • Confirmed cancer needing surgical removal
  • Suspicious mass needing biopsy
  • Breast lump needing evaluation and possible surgery
  • Colon, stomach, or abdominal cancer
  • Melanoma or skin cancer needing excision

Surgical oncologists work alongside medical oncologists and radiation oncologists for comprehensive cancer care.
