Cancer surgery is an important part of cancer treatment and may be recommended to remove a cancerous tumour, examine affected tissues, prevent further spread or relieve symptoms. The type of surgery depends on the type, location, size and stage of cancer, as well as the patient's overall health.
At Bhargava Hospital, we provide cancer surgical care with careful evaluation, appropriate treatment planning and patient-focused support. Each case is assessed individually to determine the most suitable surgical approach and follow-up care.
Cancer surgery may be used for the diagnosis, treatment or management of different types of cancers. Depending on the patient's condition, surgical treatment may include:
The main goal of cancer surgery is to safely remove the cancerous tumour whenever surgery is appropriate. Depending on the cancer, the procedure may involve removal of the tumour along with a margin of surrounding tissue. Nearby lymph nodes or other affected tissues may also be evaluated or removed when clinically indicated.
Before surgery, the patient's medical history, examination reports, imaging and other relevant investigations are reviewed. The surgical approach is planned according to the diagnosis, cancer stage, tumour location and overall health of the patient.
Tumour removal surgery aims to remove the cancerous growth while preserving healthy tissues and important structures wherever possible. The extent of surgery depends on the nature and location of the tumour.
In certain cancers, nearby lymph nodes may need to be examined or removed to determine whether cancer cells have spread. The decision depends on the type and stage of cancer and the individual treatment plan.
For selected patients and suitable cancer conditions, minimally invasive surgical techniques such as laparoscopic surgery may be considered. These procedures use smaller incisions and specialised instruments to access and treat the affected area.
Minimally invasive surgery may offer benefits such as smaller incisions and potentially shorter recovery in selected cases. Suitability depends on the type, location and stage of cancer and the patient's individual condition.
Accurate diagnosis and staging are important before deciding on cancer surgery. Depending on the patient's symptoms and condition, evaluation may include:
Cancer treatment may involve surgery alone or surgery combined with other treatments. Depending on the type and stage of cancer, treatment may include chemotherapy, radiotherapy, hormonal therapy, targeted treatment or other specialised cancer therapies.
The treatment plan is determined according to the individual diagnosis and clinical requirements. Patients are guided regarding the appropriate treatment pathway and follow-up after surgery.
Recovery after cancer surgery varies depending on the type and extent of the procedure and the patient's overall health. Post-operative care may include wound care, medicines, nutrition guidance, activity recommendations and regular follow-up visits.
Follow-up is important to monitor recovery and review any further treatment that may be required. Patients are advised to follow their surgeon's recommendations throughout the recovery period.
Bhargava Hospital focuses on providing comprehensive surgical care with careful evaluation, individualised treatment planning and appropriate post-operative support.
Our approach includes:
Cancer surgery requires careful assessment and an individualised treatment approach. At Bhargava Hospital, patients receive surgical care based on their diagnosis, treatment needs and overall health.
If you have been diagnosed with cancer or have been advised to undergo cancer surgery, a consultation with a qualified cancer surgeon can help you understand the diagnosis, surgical options and further treatment plan.
