Cancer Operations, often referred to as Onco-Surgery or Surgical Oncology, play a critical and primary role in the diagnosis, staging, and definitive treatment of many types of cancer. At Purohit Hospital, the commitment to managing both CANCER OPERATIONS and CANCER MEDICAL TREATMENT ensures patients receive comprehensive, coordinated care from experienced surgical teams.

The Role of Surgery in Cancer Care

Surgical intervention is frequently the first and most effective step in the treatment plan for solid tumors. General Surgeons and specialist surgeons at the hospital are trained to handle the specific complexities of oncological procedures.

The main objectives of Cancer Operations include:

1. Diagnosis (Biopsy): A surgical procedure may be required to obtain a tissue sample (biopsy) to confirm the presence of cancer, determine its type, and guide further treatment.

2. Staging: Surgery helps determine the size of the tumor and the extent to which the cancer has spread (staging), which is crucial for prognosis and treatment planning.

3. Primary Treatment (Curative Surgery): The goal here is to remove the entire cancerous tumor and a margin of surrounding healthy tissue. For many localized solid cancers, this can be the only treatment needed for a cure.

4. Debulking: When complete removal is not possible, the surgeon may remove a large portion of the tumor (debulking) to enhance the effectiveness of subsequent treatments like chemotherapy or radiation.

5. Palliative Care: Surgery can be used to alleviate pain, restore function, or relieve blockages caused by advanced cancer, improving the patient’s quality of life.

Purohit Hospital provides the technological environment necessary for complex and safe cancer operations.

• High-Capacity Operation Theatre: The hospital’s Operation Theatre is equipped with modern equipment and has the capacity to undertake supra-major surgeries, which is often required for large or difficult-to-access tumors.

• Minimally Invasive Options: Surgeons may utilize Laparoscopic (Key hole) techniques for certain abdominal or pelvic cancers, offering benefits like reduced recovery time and less post-operative discomfort compared to open surgery.
