Surgical Oncology is a specialized branch of medicine that focuses on the surgical treatment of cancer. It involves the surgical management of various cancer types, including solid tumors, to remove cancerous tissue and potentially curative procedures.

Surgical oncologists are specialized surgeons who work closely with other members of the multidisciplinary oncology team, such as medical oncologists, radiation oncologists, and pathologists, to provide comprehensive cancer care. They play a vital role in the diagnosis, staging, and treatment planning of cancer.
