Surgical Oncology
Surgical
oncology is the branch of oncology that applies surgery,
and it focuses on the surgical management of malignancies, especially malignant
tumours.
As one of several
modalities in the care of cancer, the area of surgical oncology has evolved in
stages comparable to those of medical oncology, which came from haematology,
and radiation oncology, which emerged from radiology. The Ewing Society, now
known as the Society of Surgical Oncology, was created by surgical oncologists
who wished to promote the field of oncology.
The popularity of the
discipline will increase due to the expansion of cancer treatment facilities
and improvements in neoadjuvant therapy, palliative
care,
and minimally invasive surgery.
