Surgical oncology (i.e., treatment of cancer using surgery) is the oldest form of cancer treatment. It can play an important role in the diagnosis and staging of cancer.
For some types of cancer, surgery is the most common way to remove a tumor. The expert surgeons at Eastern Regional Medical Center are skilled in the most sophisticated surgical techniques, which are performed in our new, state-of-the-art surgical suites.
Surgery may be a treatment option for many reasons, often to accomplish one or more of these goals: preventative (or prophylactic) surgery, diagnostic surgery, staging surgery, curative surgery, debulking (or cytoreductive) surgery, palliative surgery, supportive surgery and restorative (or reconstructive) surgery.
