Introduction
 Surgical oncology is a branch of surgery which specifically
deals with the surgery of malignant neoplasms.
Theoretically, the malignant portion once removed by
surgery cures cancer. However, when cancer has metastasized
or spread from the primary region to other areas, surgery
is usually not possible.
Examples of surgical oncology are mastectomy for breast
cancer and prostatectomy for prostrate cancer.
Apart from the removal of the primary tumor, surgery
is necessary for staging to verify the extent of the
malignancy and if it has metastasized.
Surgery is needed in cases of spinal cord compression
and bowel obstruction.
