FAQs

What is Surgical Oncology?

Surgical Oncology is a specialised field focused on the surgical treatment of cancer — removing tumours, evaluating disease progression, and reconstructing affected areas. Iswarya Hospital uses robotic and minimally invasive techniques for precision and comfort.

Which cancers can be treated surgically?

Surgery can treat many solid tumours including breast, lung, colorectal, thyroid, gynecologic, and gastrointestinal cancers. Our Advanced Cancer Centre provides personalised surgical plans for every patient.

What are the advantages of robotic cancer surgery?

Robotic-assisted surgery allows tumour removal with exceptional accuracy through small incisions — resulting in less pain, minimal scarring, and faster recovery.

How long is recovery after cancer surgery?

Minimally invasive and robotic procedures typically allow patients to resume normal activities within 2–4 weeks. Our rehabilitation team guides each patient through a smooth healing process.

Will I need chemotherapy or radiation after surgery?

Your oncologist may recommend chemotherapy or radiation before or after surgery depending on cancer stage. Treatment plans are developed collaboratively by our surgical, medical, and radiation oncology team.
