Types of Cancer Surgery

1. Curative Surgery: Removes the tumor and surrounding tissue completely.
2. Preventive Surgery: Removes at-risk tissue before cancer develops.
3. Diagnostic Surgery: Biopsies to confirm diagnosis.
4. Reconstructive Surgery: Restores appearance or function after tumor removal.
5. Palliative Surgery: Relieves symptoms in advanced cancer stages.

Advanced Surgical Options

• Minimally Invasive Surgery (MIS): Smaller cuts, faster recovery.
• Robotic Surgery: Greater precision, less pain, shorter hospital stay.
• Organ-Sparing Surgery: Preserves normal function wherever possible.
