Surgical oncology offers several benefits, including:
Curative Potential: In many cases, surgery can completely remove the cancer, offering a chance for cure. Diagnostic Clarity: Biopsies help in confirming the type and stage of cancer, guiding further treatment. Symptom Relief: Palliative surgeries can significantly improve a patient's quality of life by alleviating pain and other symptoms. Precision: Advances in surgical techniques, such as minimally invasive surgery and robotic surgery, allow for more precise tumor removal with fewer complications.
