When should you consult?

Consult a surgical oncologist when a growth or tumour has been found and surgery is being considered, or when you want an experienced second opinion before a major operation. Bringing your biopsy and scan reports to the video call makes the opinion precise.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does a surgical oncologist do?

Surgical oncologists specialise in operating on cancers - removing tumours of the breast, digestive tract, head and neck, and other organs - and in judging when surgery is the right step in a cancer treatment plan.

When should I consult a surgical oncologist?

Consult one when a biopsy or scan suggests a tumour that may need surgery, when surgery has been advised and you want a second opinion, or for follow-up after a cancer operation.

What is discussed in an online consultation?

The surgeon reviews your biopsy, scan and PET reports, explains whether and when surgery is appropriate, what the operation involves, expected recovery, and how surgery fits with chemotherapy or radiation in your overall plan.

Why does the order of cancer treatments matter?

For many cancers, outcomes depend on doing surgery, chemotherapy and radiation in the right sequence. A surgical oncologist's opinion early in planning helps ensure the operation happens at the point where it benefits you most.
