Abstract

Surgical oncology encompasses the surgical treatment of malignancy and has a major role in providing curative treatment for solid malignancy. Surgical oncology has evolved from the situation where generic surgeons performed radical surgery in isolation, to what should be now be a multidisciplinary team with an emphasis on combining modalities such as radiotherapy and chemotherapy. Expert surgical oncologists aim to achieve outcomes focused on cancer cure and preservation of organ structure and function.
