Curative surgery aims to completely remove cancerous tumors from the body. It is most effective when cancer is detected at an early stage and has not spread to other parts of the body. The surgeon attempts to excise the tumor and a margin of healthy tissue to ensure no cancer cells remain. Curative surgery offers the best chance of long-term survival and potential cure.
Preventive surgery, also known as prophylactic surgery, is performed on individuals with a high risk of developing cancer due to genetic factors or previous medical history. This approach is used to remove at-risk tissue or organs to prevent cancer from developing or spreading.
When cancer is suspected but not definitively diagnosed, diagnostic surgery is conducted to obtain a tissue sample for biopsy. The biopsy helps confirm the presence of cancer and its specific type, which guides further treatment decisions.
Staging surgery is done to determine the extent of cancer’s spread within the body. It involves the removal of nearby lymph nodes or other tissues to assess the disease’s progression. Staging helps oncologists plan the most appropriate treatment strategy.
In cases where complete tumor removal is not possible, debulking surgery is performed to reduce the tumor size. This can alleviate symptoms, improve the effectiveness of other treatments like chemotherapy or radiation, and enhance the patient’s quality of life.
