Surgery is one of the main treatments for cancer, and it may be used alone or in combination with other treatments, such as radiation therapy and chemotherapy. The main goal of cancer surgery is to remove the cancerous tissue or tumor from the body. Surgery may also be used to diagnose and stage cancer, and to alleviate symptoms caused by cancer.
The type of surgery performed depends on several factors, including the type, location, and stage of cancer. Some common types of cancer surgery include:
Biopsy: A biopsy involves the removal of a small sample of tissue for examination under a microscope to determine whether cancer is present.
Curative surgery: Curative surgery is used to remove the entire cancerous tumor and surrounding tissue to prevent the cancer from spreading.
Palliative surgery: Palliative surgery is used to alleviate symptoms caused by cancer, such as pain or obstruction.
Reconstructive surgery: Reconstructive surgery is used to repair or reconstruct body parts that have been affected by cancer surgery.
Cancer surgery can be performed using a variety of techniques, including open surgery, minimally invasive surgery, and robotic surgery. The type of surgery used depends on several factors, including the size and location of the tumor, the patient's overall health, and the surgeon's experience.
While surgery can be effective in treating cancer, it also carries risks, such as bleeding, infection, and damage to surrounding tissue or organs. It is important to talk to a healthcare provider about the risks and benefits of cancer surgery and to carefully consider all available treatment options.
