Details of Surgical Oncologists at Artemis Hospital
Cancer treatment often requires a multidisciplinary approach, and surgery plays a vital role in removing tumors, preventing the spread of cancer, and improving survival rates. In many cases, surgical intervention is the first step in cancer management, either to confirm a diagnosis through a biopsy or to remove cancerous growths before or after other treatments like chemotherapy or radiation therapy. At Artemis Hospitals, a leading center for cancer care in Gurgaon, patients have access to a multidisciplinary team of highly experienced surgical oncologists, medical oncologists, radiation specialists, and supportive care experts, and state-of-the-art surgical oncology services, ensuring the best possible outcomes for patients. With a focus on minimally invasive and robotic-assisted surgeries, Artemis Hospitals provides comprehensive cancer care with faster recovery times and better outcomes.
What is a Surgical Oncologist?
A surgical oncologist is a doctor specialising in performing surgical procedures to diagnose, remove, and manage cancer. Their expertise extends beyond traditional surgery, as they use advanced techniques such as minimally invasive and robotic-assisted procedures to improve precision, reduce recovery time, and minimize complications. Unlike general surgeons, surgical oncologists undergo extensive training in cancer-specific surgeries, allowing them to handle complex tumor resections, lymph node dissections, and reconstructive procedures. They also collaborate with medical oncologists, radiation oncologists, and pathologists to ensure that every patient receives a personalized and comprehensive cancer treatment plan.
