Frequently Asked Questions
Surgical oncology is a medical specialty focused on using surgery to diagnose, remove, or manage cancer. A surgical oncologist evaluates the type, location, and stage of cancer to determine whether surgery is an appropriate treatment option.
MGM Malar’s Surgical Oncology department provides surgical care for several cancers, including breast, head and neck, lung, gastrointestinal, urological, gynaecological, skin, and soft tissue cancers. The recommended procedure depends on the individual diagnosis and treatment plan.
You should consider consulting a surgical oncologist if you have a confirmed cancer diagnosis, a suspicious lump requiring evaluation, or a referral to discuss cancer surgery. Your doctor can assess your reports and determine whether surgery or another treatment approach is appropriate.
No, not every cancer patient needs surgery. Treatment depends on the cancer type, stage, location, and overall health. Some patients may benefit from surgery, while others may need medication, radiation therapy, or a combination of treatments recommended by their oncology team.
Depending on the diagnosis, surgical options may include breast cancer surgery, head and neck cancer surgery, lung cancer surgery, gastrointestinal cancer surgery, urological cancer surgery, gynaecological cancer surgery, and surgery for skin and soft tissue cancers. The surgical team determines the appropriate procedure for each patient.
MGM Malar lists robotic-assisted surgery among its surgical oncology facilities. Whether robotic-assisted or minimally invasive surgery is suitable depends on the cancer type, its location and stage, and the patient’s medical condition. Consult the surgical oncology team to confirm the options available for your case.
Recovery after cancer surgery varies depending on the procedure, cancer type, overall health, and whether additional treatment is required. Some patients recover within a few weeks, while major operations may require a longer recovery period. Your surgeon can provide an individual recovery plan.
You can contact MGM Malar, Adyar, to book a surgical oncology consultation. Call 044 4289 2222 for appointments. Keep your biopsy reports, scan results, and previous medical records ready so the specialist can assess your condition.
