Surgical Oncology Treatments

Every cancer is different. That’s why Broward Health’s multidisciplinary oncology team evaluates each patient’s cancer and personal needs to recommend the right treatment options, including surgery.

Diagnostic Surgery

Diagnostic surgery, including biopsies, can help your care team better understand your cancer, including its stage and if it has grown, to create a targeted treatment plan.

Cancer Removal Surgery

This type of surgery is often the first line of treatment, especially for early-stage cancers or those that have not spread.

Debulking Surgery

Debulking surgery is a procedure that removes much of the cancer tumor and is usually combined with radiation therapy, targeted medical oncology and other treatments to combat your cancer comprehensively.

Palliative Surgery

Palliative surgery is performed to ease cancer symptoms and improve quality of life. While it doesn’t provide a cure, it can be very beneficial in easing pain and other symptoms.

Preventative Surgery

Your surgeon may recommend preventative surgery if they find tissue that is not cancerous now but may develop into cancer down the road.

Reconstructive Surgery

Reconstructive or restorative surgery is a type of plastic surgery that focuses on restoring your appearance or function after cancer treatment.

Minimally Invasive Surgery at Broward Health

Broward Health offers advanced robotic surgery capabilities that empower specially trained surgeons to perform minimally invasive procedures with robotic-assisted technology. That means less pain, a shorter recovery time, and improved outcomes for you.
