Cancer Surgery

What is Cancer?

Cancer is a condition when a few of the body’s cells grow out of control and spread to other body parts. In the millions of cells that make up the human body, cancer can develop practically anywhere. Human cells often divide to create new cells as the body requires them. New cells replace old ones when they die as a result of ageing or damage. Often, this systematic process fails, causing damaged or aberrant cells to grow when they shouldn’t. Tumours, which are tissue masses, can develop from these cells. Tumours can either be cancerous or non-cancerous.
Cancerous tumours can spread to distant parts of the body to produce new tumours, invade neighbouring tissues, or both. Malignant tumours are another name for cancerous tumours. Malignancies of the blood, including leukaemias, seldom develop solid tumours although many other cancers do.
Noncancerous tumours do not penetrate or spread to neighbouring tissues. They typically don’t come back after removal, however malignant tumours can. However, these tumours can occasionally grow to be quite enormous. Some, like benign brain tumours, can have grave side effects or even be fatal.

What is Cancer Surgery?

An operation or technique to remove a tumour and potentially some adjacent tissue is known as cancer surgery. It’s the oldest and most traditional form of cancer treatment, and it is still effective against many cancer forms today. The specialist who conducts the surgery is called a surgical oncologist.
Your doctor might prescribe surgery to remove a tumour, restore your body’s function, or treat side effects. Additionally, you may need surgery to ascertain, whether you suffer from cancer, to find out the location of the cancerous growth/tissues or, to find out if cancer had spread to the other parts of your body.

What are the different types of cancer surgeries?

There are different types of surgeries for the detection and removal of cancerous growth:
Cryosurgery: For this procedure, extremely cold substances like a cold probe or liquid nitrogen spray are used. Cancer cells are killed by freezing and the cold.
Electrosurgery: In this kind of surgery, electric current is utilized to eliminate cancer cells.
Laser surgery: In laser surgery, light beams are used to reduce or eliminate cancer cells.
Mohs procedure: Mohs procedure gently removes cancer in layers. Each thin layer is examined under a microscope to check for indications of malignancy as it is removed. Repeating this helps to completely eradicate the malignancy. For tumours on delicate skin, such as those around the eyes, Mohs surgery is used. The Mohs procedure helps to remove tumours present on delicate skin, such as the skin present around the eyes.
Endoscopy: This kind of operation collects tissue samples which are then examined by a pathologist. Endoscopies are procedures used to examine tissue inside organs such as the bladder, colon, or other parts of the body. It makes use of a small, flexible tube that has a camera and light at the end.
Laparoscopic procedure: In laparoscopic surgery, instead of making a single, large incision, this minimally invasive procedure makes multiple, smaller ones. Through the cuts, a tiny camera and surgical instruments are inserted. What the camera observes is displayed on a monitor. This is used by the surgeon to direct the tools used to remove the malignancy. Since the incisions were smaller, you might recover more quickly and experience fewer complications.
