Surgical Oncology Treatments
Every cancer is unique. That’s why our multidisciplinary team carefully reviews your diagnosis and personal health needs to determine if surgery is the right part of your treatment plan.
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.
This type of surgery is often the first line of treatment, especially for early-stage cancers or those that have not spread.
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 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.
Your surgeon may recommend preventative surgery if they find tissue that is not cancerous now but may develop into cancer down the road.
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
Our specially trained surgeons use advanced robotic technology to perform precise, minimally invasive procedures. This often means less pain, faster recovery and better outcomes for you.
