Surgical oncology refers to the use of surgery as part of a comprehensive cancer treatment plan. While surgical oncologists specialize in this field, at Texas Advanced Surgical & Bariatrics, our skilled general surgeons are highly experienced in performing cancer-related surgeries. Our focus is on removing tumors and cancerous tissue using advanced surgical techniques to help patients achieve the best possible outcomes.
Surgery can play a critical role in the management and treatment of cancer. Our general surgeons work with patients to:
Remove Cancerous Tumors: Surgery is often the primary treatment for solid tumors, especially when the cancer is localized.
Obtain Biopsies and Stage Cancer: In certain cases, surgery may be necessary to confirm a cancer diagnosis or assess its spread.
Provide Palliative Care: For advanced cancers, surgical procedures can help alleviate symptoms, improve quality of life, and reduce pain.
Our general surgeons at Texas Advanced Surgical & Bariatrics are experienced in performing surgeries for a wide variety of cancers, including:
Gastrointestinal Cancers: Such as colon, stomach, and liver cancers.
Skin Cancer: Removal of melanoma and other skin cancers.
Endocrine Cancers: Including tumors of the thyroid and adrenal glands.
While we are not oncologists, our surgeons work closely with your oncology team to ensure seamless coordination of your overall cancer care.
Our surgeons specialize in laparoscopic surgery, a minimally invasive approach that allows for smaller incisions, reduced pain, and quicker recovery times. This technique is particularly beneficial in cancer surgeries, helping patients heal faster and get back to their daily lives sooner.
Benefits of Choosing Laparoscopic Surgery
Laparoscopic surgery offers smaller incisions, faster recovery, and reduced pain compared to traditional surgery.

The decision for surgery is made based on the tumor’s location, size, stage of cancer, and the patient’s overall health. Our team works with your oncology specialists to develop the best treatment plan.
Common signs of recurrence can include unexplained pain, new lumps, changes in bowel habits, or weight loss. Regular follow-ups and imaging help monitor for potential recurrence.
While surgery aims to remove all cancerous tissue, there is always a possibility of recurrence. Regular follow-ups and monitoring help detect any signs of cancer returning.
In some cases, physical therapy may be recommended to help regain strength and mobility after surgery, particularly if the surgery affects major muscles or joints. Your doctor will guide you on this based on your recovery needs.
