About Doctor

He devotes most of their time to the study and treatment of malignant neoplastic disease. He also possess the necessary knowledge, skills, and clinical experience to perform both the standard as well as extraordinary surgical procedures required for patients with cancer. He also diagnoses tumors accurately and to differentiate aggressive neoplastic lesions from benign reactive processes. In addition, surgical oncologists should have a firm understanding of radiation oncology, medical oncology, and hematology. They must also be capable of organizing interdisciplinary studies of cancer. Surgical oncologists should also be trained in pathology, because they will be called on to excise appropriate tumor samples for pathologists and make decisions about adequacy of surgical margins. Surgical oncologists have a shared role with medical oncologists as the “primary care physicians” of cancer treatment. Almost all cancer patients will initially be managed by one of these two specialists who will bear the ultimate responsibility for coordinating appropriate multimodality care for the individual patient.
