Cancer is a word that brings fear — and the idea of surgery makes it even more stressful. But here’s the truth: not all cancer patients need surgery, and not all surgeries are invasive or complicated.
Cancer treatment is personalized. Some early-stage cancers can be treated with surgery alone, while others may require chemotherapy, radiation, or a combination of therapies. The role of a surgical oncologist is to evaluate whether surgery will help cure or control the disease — and whether it’s the safest option for you.
Minimally invasive techniques, such as robotic and laparoscopic surgery, now allow us to remove tumors with smaller incisions, less pain, and faster recovery. These techniques have revolutionized surgical oncology, especially in cancers of the colon, stomach, uterus, kidneys, and more.
Dr. Mrinal Das focuses on evidence-based, patient-friendly approaches. His goal isn’t to rush you into surgery — it’s to help you understand your options. Sometimes, surgery can wait. Sometimes, a less invasive method can be used. And sometimes, the best step is just a diagnostic evaluation.
You don’t need to commit to anything today. But you do need clarity.
