Surgery

Surgery may be used to remove cancer from your body. 

For certain types of cancer, surgery is the best option. The type of surgery depends on the type of cancer you have and where it is in your body. Reasons you may have surgery:

• cancer prevention
• biopsy
• staging of the disease
• to remove cancer
• debulking 
• relieving systems

Surgery may do done after systemic therapy and/or radiation therapy have shrunk the tumour, making surgery more safe and effective.
