    • When Should You See a Specialist?

    You should see a surgical oncologist if you’ve been diagnosed with a solid tumor or if imaging or biopsy reveals an abnormal mass that may require removal. These specialists determine whether surgery is necessary, safe, and most effective as part of your cancer treatment plan.

    FAQs About Pain Medicine

    Q1: What types of cancer does a surgical oncologist treat?
    A1: Surgical oncologists treat solid tumors, including cancers of the breast, colon, liver, pancreas, and skin. They specialize in safely removing tumors while minimizing damage to surrounding tissue.

    Q2: How is surgical oncology different from general surgery?
    A2: While general surgeons can perform a variety of procedures, surgical oncologists have additional training and focus specifically on cancer-related surgeries, often working within a coordinated cancer care team.

    Q3: Is surgery always necessary to treat cancer?
    A3: Not always. Whether you need surgery depends on the type, size, and stage of your cancer. Your oncologist and surgeon will determine the best treatment plan, which may include surgery, chemotherapy, radiation, or a combination.
