Desired candidate profile
- Advanced Surgical Techniques
- Tumor Resection: Performing complex surgeries to remove tumors from various organs, ensuring the complete removal of cancerous tissue while preserving the functionality of the affected organ.
- Laparoscopic and Robotic Surgery: Proficiency in minimally invasive techniques, such as laparoscopic (keyhole) and robotic surgeries, to reduce recovery time, minimize scarring, and lower the risk of complications.
- Microsurgery: Using specialized techniques and tools to perform delicate surgeries, often necessary for tumors located near critical structures like blood vessels or nerves.
- Sentinel Lymph Node Biopsy: In some cancers (e.g., breast or melanoma), removing the sentinel lymph nodes to determine if cancer has spread. This helps guide further treatment decisions.
- Collaborating with Oncologists: Surgical oncologists work closely with medical oncologists (chemotherapy specialists), radiation oncologists, pathologists, and other healthcare professionals to provide a comprehensive cancer care plan.
- Treatment Planning: Participating in tumor board meetings to discuss and plan the most appropriate treatment for patients based on the type and stage of cancer.
- Adjuvant Therapy Coordination: After surgery, surgical oncologists collaborate with other specialists to determine whether additional treatments like chemotherapy, immunotherapy, or radiation therapy are necessary.
- Tumor Biopsy and Diagnostics: Conducting biopsies to obtain tissue samples for the definitive diagnosis of cancer. Surgical oncologists are also skilled in interpreting biopsy results in the context of the patient's overall clinical picture.
- Staging and Prognosis: Assessing the extent (stage) of cancer using various imaging studies, such as CT scans, MRIs, PET scans, and sometimes intraoperative assessment, to help determine the prognosis and plan surgery accordingly.
- Dealing with Metastasis: Surgical oncologists manage cancers that have spread to other organs (metastasis) and may perform surgeries to remove metastatic tumors or improve the patient's quality of life.
- Palliative Care: In cases where cancer is advanced and surgery is not curative, surgical oncologists may perform palliative procedures to relieve symptoms, such as obstruction, bleeding, or pain.
- Postoperative Care: Monitoring and managing complications post-surgery, including infection, bleeding, and wound healing, and ensuring effective pain control.
- Explaining Treatment Options: Consulting with patients and their families about the risks, benefits, and expected outcomes of surgery, as well as other treatment options available.
- Emotional Support: Providing support and guidance to patients and families who may be dealing with the emotional burden of a cancer diagnosis. This includes offering information on the cancer journey, treatment expectations, and recovery timelines.
- Informed Consent: Ensuring that patients are fully informed about their surgery and any potential risks or complications associated with the procedure.
