About Oncosurgery

Oncosurgery, performed by a specialized Surgical Oncologist, is a precise and comprehensive surgical procedure aimed at diagnosing, staging, and treating cancerous tumors. This specialized field of cancer surgery focuses on the complete removal of malignant growths while preserving as much healthy tissue and organ function as possible. Surgical oncologists are experts in performing complex resections, often utilizing advanced techniques like minimally invasive (laparoscopic or robotic) surgery, sentinel lymph node biopsy, and reconstructive procedures. The goal is not only curative but also to improve quality of life by managing symptoms and preventing recurrence. It is a cornerstone of multidisciplinary cancer care, typically integrated with medical oncology and radiation therapy for a holistic treatment plan tailored to the individual patient's type and stage of cancer.

PATIENT REVIEW

Olivia Das, a 42-year-old high school...

Olivia Das, a 42-year-old high school biology teacher and mother of two, first noticed a persistent, dull ache in her right breast during a self-exam. A mammogram and subsequent biopsy revealed a 2.1 cm invasive ductal carcinoma. As the cancer was hormone receptor-positive and localized, her surgical oncologist, Dr. Evans, recommended a lumpectomy (breast-conserving surgery) followed by radiation, explaining it offered equivalent survival rates to a mastectomy for her case. Olivia chose the lumpectomy, terrified of losing a part of her body she associated with nurturing her children. The surgery itself was straightforward, performed under general anesthesia. Her recovery was physically manageable with some pain and tightness, but emotionally taxing as she awaited the pathology report on her lymph nodes. The news was good, clear margins and no lymph node involvement. While facing radiation therapy, Olivia felt a profound shift from the terror of a 'cancer patient' to the empowerment of a 'cancer survivor.' She returned to teaching with a deeper empathy, using her experience to calmly educate her students about health.
