Services

• Curative surgery: We offer surgery that is designed to cure the cancer.
• Debulking surgery: In some cases, we can remove a tumour completely or reduce its size so that it is no longer cancerous.
• Diagnostic surgery: We perform biopsies and other diagnostic procedures in order to determine the nature of a tumour.
• Palliative surgery: If cure is not possible, we offer procedures to improve the quality of life for the patient.
• Preventive surgery: Some tumours can be removed before they have a chance to cause problems.
• Reconstructive surgery: We can rebuild areas of the body damaged by cancer or its treatment.
• Staging surgery: We help stage tumours so that the cancer can be better understood and treated.
• Supportive surgery: We provide supportive care for patients undergoing cancer treatment.
