Not a diagnosis and not final medical advice. Must be reviewed by a doctor.

What is it?

Surgery aims to remove the tumor and, if necessary, the surrounding lymph nodes.

In some cancers, surgery is combined with prior or subsequent therapy.

Planning depends on the location of the tumor, size, and general condition of the patient.

The surgeon removes the tumor tissue with a margin of surrounding healthy tissue, and the results are examined by pathology to assess the incision margins and lymph nodes.
How Surgery (oncologic surgery)

How it works

The surgeon removes the tumor tissue with a margin of surrounding healthy tissue, and the results are examined by pathology to assess the incision margins and lymph nodes.

Position in the treatment pathway: Generally considered at a stage that can still be removed. In advanced disease, surgery can serve certain purposes such as reducing symptoms.

Which cancers is it usually discussed for?

Usually considered

  • The tumor was judged to be completely resectable based on imaging.
  • General condition and organ function adequate to undergo anesthesia.
  • Consent after explanation of risks and alternatives.

Usually not a candidate

  • Tumors that have spread far and cannot be removed completely.
  • Medical conditions that make the risk of surgery too high.

What is the process like?

  1. Preparation 1

    Recent imaging examination.

  2. Preparation 2

    Laboratory examination and assessment of organ function.

  3. Preparation 3

    Adjust certain medications according to doctor's instructions.

  4. Monitoring

    Post-action monitoring.

All preparation

  • Recent imaging examination.
  • Laboratory examination and assessment of organ function.
  • Adjust certain medications according to doctor's instructions.

All monitoring

  • Post-action monitoring.
  • Schedule follow-up pathology and imaging evaluations.
