Surgical oncology is a subspecialty focussed on cancer surgery. It follows standard oncological principles and protocols to get the best possible outcome.
We at Kauvery Cancer Centre have well trained surgical oncologists with vast experience in radical cancer surgeries, organ conservation cancer surgeries and minimally invasive cancer surgeries. They are supported by multi-modality therapy from medical oncology and radiation oncology to provide best possible cancer care.

Specialised procedures
Peritonectomy with Hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotheraphy (HIPEC) for peritoneal carcinomatosis in tumours like pseudomyxoma peritonei, ovarian cancer, colorectal cancers and others. In tumours with peritoneal disease such as above the entire peritoneum is surgically removed along with the primary tumour and intraoperatively chemotheraphy is instilled in to the abdominal cavity under hyperthermic conditions (40-41 C )using specialised equipment to kill the cancer cells.
Tumours in the thorax including lung cancers, mediatinal tumours and esophageal cancers are resected without opening the chest by using thoracosopy which results in very early post-operative recovery.
In case of tumours involving the bones of lower limbs or upper limbs instead of removing (amputation) the entire bone only the part of the bone with tumour is removed and the bone reconstructed using prosthesis and patient made to walk again or use his arms again.
