Cancer surgery plays a crucial role in the treatment and management of many types of cancer. It involves the physical removal of tumors or cancerous tissues from the body and is often one of the first steps in diagnosis, staging, or treatment. Depending on the cancer type and stage, surgery may be performed alone or alongside other therapies such as chemotherapy, radiation, or immunotherapy. In many cases, surgery can completely eliminate the cancer, especially when detected early. Advances in surgical techniques, including minimally invasive and robotic-assisted procedures, have improved outcomes, reduced recovery times, and minimized scarring.

For many patients, surgery offers the best chance of long-term survival and improved quality of life, making it a vital weapon in the ongoing fight against cancer.
