Advanced Surgical Expertise for Cancer Treatment
Surgery remains one of the most effective treatment options for many cancers. At Sterling Hospitals, our Surgical Oncology team performs advanced cancer surgeries using open, minimally invasive and robotic-assisted techniques, offering specialised surgical care across breast, gastrointestinal, thoracic, head & neck, gynaecologic and urologic cancers.
Our surgeons are experienced in performing both routine and complex oncological procedures, with a focus on achieving effective cancer removal while preserving healthy organs, function and quality of life wherever possible.
What is Surgical Oncology?
Surgical Oncology is the branch of cancer care dedicated to treating cancer through surgery. Depending on the type, stage and location of the cancer, surgery may be performed to remove a tumour, preserve organ function, improve treatment outcomes or help relieve symptoms.
Advances in surgical techniques have made many procedures less invasive than before. Today, suitable patients may benefit from laparoscopic and robotic-assisted surgery, which can offer smaller incisions, improved surgical precision and a smoother recovery.

Frequently Asked Questions
When is surgery recommended for cancer?
Surgery may be recommended as the primary treatment, as part of a combined treatment plan or to help relieve symptoms, depending on the type and stage of cancer.
Can cancer surgery be performed using minimally invasive techniques?
Yes. Many cancers can be treated using laparoscopic or robotic-assisted surgery, depending on the patient's condition and the nature of the disease.
What is the difference between laparoscopic and robotic surgery?
Both are minimally invasive techniques. Robotic-assisted surgery provides enhanced visualisation and greater precision for selected complex procedures.
Will I need reconstructive surgery after cancer surgery?
Some patients may benefit from reconstructive procedures following cancer removal. Your surgeon will discuss the available options based on your diagnosis and treatment plan.
How long does recovery take after cancer surgery?
Recovery depends on the type of surgery performed, the patient's overall health and the complexity of the procedure.
