Oncological surgery
This is a modern tumor surgery, which is a part of a comprehensive oncological care for patients. Modern treatment of tumors consists of the following stages: surgical removal of the tumor; irradiation of adjacent areas on a linear accelerator; chemotherapy to combat micrometastases and radiosurgery of large metastases. Thus, the accuracy of preparation for surgery and management of the patient in the postoperative period depends on the professional consultation of the oncologist.
