- Surgical Biopsies: A biopsy is the main way to diagnose many types of cancer. There are different kinds of biopsies. During a surgical biopsy, your doctor will make a small cut to remove some tissue. They may take a small sample or the entire tumor. Other types of biopsies, including fine needle aspiration and image-guided biopsies, use needles instead of surgery.
- Staging Surgery: Surgeons do staging surgery to learn how large a tumor is, if it has spread, and if so, where.
- Tumor Removal: Removing a tumor is a common type of cancer surgery. This may also be called a resection or excision. Your doctor usually takes out the tumor and some of the healthy tissue near it.
- Debulking Surgery: Debulking surgery removes part, but not all, of a tumor. This surgery is done when the entire tumor cannot be removed.
- Palliative Surgery: The goal of palliative surgery is to relieve side effects caused by cancer and improve your quality of life.
- Reconstructive Surgery: Reconstructive surgery can help with the effects of cancer treatment. Reconstructive surgery may be done at the same time the tumor is removed or after you have healed or had other treatments.
- Preventative Surgery: Prevention surgery can be used to lower the risk of getting cancer.
