Surgical Oncology
Surgical oncology is a specialized field of surgery that focuses on the surgical management of cancer. Recent research in surgical oncology has focused on improving surgical techniques, minimizing complications, and optimizing patient outcomes. Minimally invasive surgery is a surgical technique that uses small incisions and specialized instruments to perform surgery. Recent research has shown that minimally invasive surgery can be used to safely and effectively treat certain types of cancer, such as prostate cancer and colorectal cancer.
Robotic surgery is a type of surgery that is minimally invasive that implements robotic arms to carry out the operation. Recent research has shown that robotic surgery can be used to safely and effectively treat certain types of cancer, such as prostate cancer, kidney cancer, and gynecologic cancers. Enhanced recovery after surgery is a multimodal approach to surgical care that aims to optimize patient outcomes by minimizing surgical stress and reducing complications. Recent research has shown that ERAS protocols can be used to improve outcomes for patients undergoing surgery for cancer.
Sentinel lymph node biopsy is a surgical technique that involves removing the first lymph node(s) that cancer is likely to spread to from the primary tumor. Recent research has shown that sentinel lymph node biopsy can be used to safely and accurately stage certain types of cancer, such as breast cancer and melanoma. Perioperative care refers to the care that a patient receives before, during, and after surgery. Recent research has shown that optimizing perioperative care can improve outcomes for patients undergoing surgery for cancer, such as reducing complications and improving quality of life.
