Oncological surgeries

What does surgical oncology deal with?

Our surgical oncology team primarily deals with the minimally invasive surgical treatment of colon and rectal tumours but also performs surgical treatment of other abdominal and gastrointestinal clinical aspects.

The team members are specially trained oncologists who have extensive experience in the complex treatment of gastrointestinal tumours and are recognized experts in the field.

The work of the surgical team is supported by the so-called “multidisciplinary team”, which includes an oncologist, a radiation therapist, a radiologist and a pathologist.

It is recommended to see a surgical oncologist after a preliminary internal medicine and/or radiological examination in the presence of the following symptoms:

What happens during the specialist appointment?

During the appointment, the complaints are discussed, the surgeon reviews the results of the available tests. A physical examination and, if justified, a colonoscopy is also performed.

If further tests are necessary, they are organized by the surgeon.

The possible treatment alternatives, their advantages and disadvantages, the possible risks of the surgeries, and the chances of recovery are discussed in detail.

The therapeutic proposal is always reviewed by an oncology committee, a so-called multidisciplinary team.
