At Heritage Hospital, our Onco Surgery unit delivers advanced, evidence-based surgical treatments across a wide range of cancers. From early-stage tumors to complex, multi-organ involvement, our multidisciplinary team works closely to provide individualized care that maximizes survival, function, and quality of life. We integrate surgery with medical and radiation oncology, reconstructive surgery, and rehabilitative support to offer holistic cancer care under one roof.
Surgical oncology focuses on the removal of tumors and affected tissues, often combined with other therapies such as chemotherapy, radiation, and targeted treatments. Surgery may be used for diagnosis (biopsy), staging, curative intent, debulking (partial removal), symptom control, or reconstruction.
