Oncological Surgery (Cancer Surgery)

Oncological surgery deals with cancer surgery. Surgery is one of the most important forms of treatment in cancer treatment. Strives for early diagnosis of cancer. Surgical oncology, which plays a role in the surgical treatment of the cancerous area, also has an important share in other areas of diagnosis and treatment. Oncological surgery applications must be performed by surgeons specialized in that field.

The surgeon should apply the most effective and up-to-date treatment to the patient. Treatment should be continued in a multi-disciplinary (multi-disciplinary) approach before or after surgery. The aim of surgical treatment should be to perform surgery to such an extent that macroscopic and microscopic tumor tissue remains in early stage patients.
In patients who cannot be treated surgically, it is possible to apply therapeutic treatment for oncological surgery to relieve the patient. Applications can also be made for the symptoms that occur due to the disease or for the relief of the patient.

The importance of oncological surgery (cancer surgery) has increased in recent years. In particular, multidisciplinary work has gained importance. On the one hand, chemotherapy and radiotherapy applications have been updated and adjuvant (chemotherapy, hormone therapy, smart drugs and radiotherapy) and neoadjuvant (chemotherapy given to reduce the mass and facilitate surgery) treatment has become widespread. On the other hand, diagnostic methods and modern examinations have been developed, and laproscopic surgical methods have begun to be used instead of open surgeries in the past.
