Cancer Surgery
Cancer surgery is a type of treatment in which a surgeon removes cancerous tumors or tissue from the body. The goal of cancer surgery is to remove as much of the cancer as possible while preserving normal surrounding tissue and organs. Depending on the location and stage of the cancer, surgery may be used as the primary treatment or in combination with other treatments such as radiation therapy, chemotherapy, or immunotherapy.

Who can have surgery for cancer
Surgery is one of the most common treatments for cancer. It involves removing the cancerous tissue from the body. Surgery can be used alone or in combination with other treatments, such as chemotherapy, radiation therapy, or immunotherapy.
However, surgery may not be suitable for all types of cancer or all situations. Whether surgery is an appropriate treatment option for a patient depends on many factors.
One of the factors that determine whether surgery is an option is the type of cancer a patient has.
There are many types of cancer, including breast cancer, lung cancer, prostate cancer, and colon cancer, among others. Each type of cancer has its unique characteristics, including how it grows and spreads. Some types of cancer are more amenable to surgery than others. For instance, some types of brain cancer may be difficult to remove surgically due to their location, while others, such as skin cancer, may be relatively easy to remove.
About the Cancer Surgery
Surgery is not a treatment option for some types of cancer. These include cancers of the blood system (leukaemia), or lymphatic system (lymphoma). This is because these cancers have often spread throughout the
body. Surgery won’t get rid of all the cancer if it is in many different parts of the body.
