For most solid tumors, Surgical Oncology is not just an option—it is the foundational first step toward a cure. The primary goal of a surgical oncologist is radical, precise tumor removal, ensuring that the entire cancerous mass and a surrounding margin of healthy tissue are successfully excised.
This is a highly specialized field that requires expertise far beyond general surgery. A surgical oncologist, like Prof. (Dr.) Vinod Dhakad, is trained to understand the specific biology of cancer, how it spreads, and the necessary techniques to achieve oncological clearance while preserving critical organ function.
Whether the procedure is a complex Whipple’s surgery, a delicate Head & Neck reconstruction, or a minimally invasive laparoscopic removal, the success of the initial surgery sets the stage for everything that follows. Choosing a highly experienced specialist ensures the greatest precision in this critical first step.
