FAQs

A Plethora of solutions to all your questions and dilemmas, melt away any confusion or doubts you may have

Usually tumours can be removed surgically, a combination of surgery and chemotherapy is suggested, either before or after surgery. Patients are typically first administered chemotherapy in the hopes that the tumours may respond by shrinking. Afterwards, surgery can be performed.
 

Occasionally, surgery alone can cure all types of cancer in the early stages. However, for many malignancies, a combination of surgery and other treatments, such as chemotherapy and radiation therapy, is the best course of action. Each new cancer patient is evaluated by a multidisciplinary team to develop a tailored treatment plan. We perform surgery when necessary in conjunction with other treatments and to increase our cancer cure rates.
 

Recovery after a less difficult procedure may take a few days or a week, whereas recovery from major surgery can take several months. It is essential to adhere to your surgeon's instructions and to be patient as you recuperate. Learn more about the hospital's recuperation area.
 

Almost everyone experiences post-operative pain. Pain is natural, but it should not impede the recovery process. There are numerous methods for managing and reducing surgery pain. The range of pain medications includes acetaminophen (Tylenol), anti-inflammatory drugs, and harsher pharmaceuticals such as morphine.
 

Inquire about the potential long-term repercussions of the surgery. The sort of surgery performed determines the type of long-term negative effects. If surgery is being performed on or near your reproductive organs, you may wish to inquire about the potential impact on your ability to conceive or father a child (fertility). People undergoing surgery for colorectal cancer may require an abdominal incision to which the end of the colon is connected (a colostomy). Men undergoing radical prostatectomy run the risk of losing control of their pee (incontinence) or becoming unable to achieve or maintain an erection (impotence). Before undergoing surgery, your physician should discuss the potential long-term implications of the procedure with you.
