Cancer Diagnosis & Biopsy

- Helpful Answers
Frequently asked questions
When should I consult a surgical oncologist?
You should consult a surgical oncologist after a confirmed cancer diagnosis, an abnormal biopsy, a suspicious lump or when surgery has been recommended as part of cancer treatment.
Does every cancer patient require surgery?
No. The need for surgery depends on the cancer type, location, stage and overall health of the patient. Some cancers may be treated with chemotherapy, radiotherapy or other treatments.
What tests are required before cancer surgery?
Tests may include blood investigations, imaging scans, biopsy, cardiac evaluation and other assessments. These help determine the cancer stage and whether surgery can be performed safely.
Can cancer surgery remove the entire tumour?
The goal is to remove the tumour completely whenever medically possible. However, the extent of surgery depends on the tumour’s location, size, spread and involvement of nearby structures.
Will I need chemotherapy or radiotherapy after surgery?
Some patients may require chemotherapy, radiotherapy, targeted therapy or hormonal therapy after surgery. The recommendation depends on the final pathology report and cancer stage.
How long does recovery take after cancer surgery?
Recovery depends on the type and extent of surgery, the organ involved and the patient’s overall health. The surgical team will provide personalised recovery and follow-up guidance.
