Most of the solid organ tumours require one or more treatment modalities for cure, which usually includes surgery as the main treatment modality. Surgery alone or in combination with Chemotherapy/ Radiotherapy is used for cure, depending on the histopathological diagnosis and stage of disease.
After establishing diagnosis and stage of cancer, treatment is planned for a patient and whether to go for Surgery straightforward or after Neoadjuvant chemotherapy and/or Radiotherapy is decided by oncologist according to available recent guidelines for particular tumour.
Before planning for surgery, patient and his or her relatives are counselled about disease diagnosis, available treatment options, complications and cure rate associated with the treatment and prognosis of disease with and without treatment.
