Overview

Surgery is the most important component in the treatment of solid organ cancers. Cure is not a realistic possibility without it. We, at the Department of Surgical Oncology at Dr Mehta’s Hospitals, the best oncologist in Chennai, aim to cure such cancers whenever possible, and when not possible, shall give palliative treatment, so as to improve the quality of their life.

In this era of organ conservation, the department of Surgical oncology works closely with Medical and Radiological oncology for optimal outcome and international guidelines with regard to treatment of such cancers including preoperative Chemotherapy and Radiotherapy are utilized for the same. In early stages of various cancers, surgery alone suffices for cure. In more advanced stages, Chemotherapy (or) Radiotherapy may be required before or after surgery, to achieve optimal outcomes.
