Overview

Cancer is something nobody wants to discuss; you hope not to encounter the word in a doctor's office, yet when it does show up in your life - whether in yourself or someone close - everything changes. That’s where oncology comes in. It’s not just a medical field. It’s the world you step into when life suddenly looks different. It’s doctors, nurses, technicians — all working to help you figure out what’s happening, what comes next, and how to hold on to hope in the middle of it all. Surgical intervention is an integral component of cancer management, designed to excision tumors and halt their progress comprehensively. At Mahanandan Super Speciality Hospital's Oncosurgery Department we specialize in performing complex cancer operations with great care and accuracy while striving to minimize damage to body structures, reduce scarring post operatively, improve recovery rates and enhance overall quality of life for our patients.

What Is Cancer?

Honestly? It's your body acting out. Some cells stop listening to the rules and start growing way too fast, way too much. They push out the healthy stuff, form tumors, and sometimes spread.

But cancer isn’t one thing. It’s not just one disease. It comes in many forms, and it doe

What is Oncosurgery?

Oncosurgery involves surgical removal of cancer-affected tissues and tumors combined with reconstructive and rehabilitation techniques. Oncosurgery may serve as the sole therapy or be part of a larger plan which also includes chemotherapy or radiation therapy treatments.

• Curative surgeries for early-stage cancers
• Debulking surgeries to reduce tumor burden
• Palliative surgeries to improve comfort in advanced cases

Our surgical oncologists carefully plan each surgery based on cancer type, size, location and stage with patient safety and functional outcomes in mind.

Oncology Isn’t Just Science — It’s People

You’ll probably meet a few new words along the way: oncologist, radiologist, pathologist. But behind those long titles are people who want to help you. People who’ve trained for years to be in this exact moment — standing beside someone who just got hit with the word cancer.

Some might give you meds (chemo, immunotherapy, targeted drugs). Others might perform surgery or plan radiation. Some will explain things a dozen times, just so it finally makes sense on a day when your brain feels like it’s floating.

And then there are the ones who check in just to ask how you’re actually doing. Those matter too.

Treatment Isn't a Formula

There are no two cancer experiences similar; even in people diagnosed with the same type of cancer their bodies, feelings and treatment responses differ in significant ways.

So the plan? It’s yours. Custom-made. Based on what works for your body — and what matters most to you.

Some Hope — Because We Need That Too

Look — cancer’s awful. No way around that. But there’s real hope now in ways there wasn’t 10, 15, even 5 years ago.

New treatments are smarter. We’re not just blasting the whole body anymore — we're learning to target the cancer and leave the rest alone.

Immunotherapy is huge. So is precision medicine — where doctors use your genetic info to choose the exact treatment that’s most likely to work.

People are living longer. People are beating it. And every year, the odds get a little better.

And Finally… You’re Not a Diagnosis

You’re still you.

Cancer might be part of your story right now — but it’s not the whole thing. And oncology? It's not just about killing cells. It’s about helping you hang on to your life, your dignity, your relationships, your sense of self.

If you're in it — I see you. If someone you love is in it — I see you too.

There are hard days. But there are good ones too. Don’t forget that part.

Cancers We Perform Surgery For

At our center, we specialize in surgical care for solid organ cancers of various kinds and provide personalized plans based on international best practices for each of our patients.

Breast Cancer and Breast-Conserving Surgeries can occur, along with oral, head, neck cancers. Colorectal cancer, stomach cancer and pancreatic cancers also pose significant threats; so too do Gynecological cancers including ovarian, uterine and cervical cancers.

Soft Tissue Sarcomas and Skin Cancers

When reconstructive surgeries and cosmetic procedures become necessary to restore appearance and functionality in head/neck/breast cancer cases, reconstructive and cosmetic surgeries will often be combined in order to achieve maximum healing and functionality.

Minimally Invasive and Organ-Saving Approaches

At our cancer control centers, we believe in employing minimally invasive techniques such as laparoscopic and robotic surgeries whenever possible to minimize trauma during surgery, speed recovery time and minimize scarring without jeopardizing cancer control efforts.

Laparoscopic colon and rectal cancer surgeries with sentinel node biopsy; breast-conserving surgeries with sentinel node biopsy; organ sparing procedures for kidney and prostate cancers Our goal is to effectively remove cancer while helping our patients maintain normal body functions and dignity.
