Surgical Oncology
Welcome to the Surgical Oncology Service at Shalamar Hospital, Lahore. We are dedicated to providing comprehensive surgical oncology services, focused on the diagnosis, treatment, and management of various types of cancers. Our team of highly skilled surgical oncologists and healthcare professionals is committed to delivering personalized, compassionate care to our patients.
- Surgical Tumor Resection: Our surgical oncologists are experienced in performing precise and effective tumor resections for a wide range of cancers. We specialize in surgical interventions for breast cancer, lung cancer, colorectal cancer, gastrointestinal cancers, gynecological cancers, and other malignancies.
- Sentinel Lymph Node Biopsy: We offer sentinel lymph node biopsy, a minimally invasive procedure used to determine the spread of cancer to the nearby lymph nodes. This technique helps guide further treatment decisions and reduces the need for extensive lymph node dissections.
- Oncoplastic Surgery: Our surgical oncologists are trained in oncoplastic techniques, which combine cancer removal with reconstructive procedures to optimize cosmetic outcomes for breast cancer patients. We strive to ensure that our patients achieve the best possible aesthetic results along with effective cancer treatment.
- Minimally Invasive Surgery: We utilize advanced minimally invasive surgical techniques, such as laparoscopy and robotic-assisted surgery, whenever appropriate. These techniques result in smaller incisions, reduced pain, faster recovery, and improved quality of life for our patients.
- Expertise and Experience: Our surgical oncologists have extensive experience and expertise in managing various types of cancers. They stay up-to-date with the latest advancements in surgical oncology to provide the highest standard of care for our patients.
- Multidisciplinary Team: We work collaboratively with a multidisciplinary team of oncologists, radiologists, pathologists, and other specialists to ensure comprehensive, integrated cancer care. This team-based approach allows us to develop personalized treatment plans tailored to each patient’s unique needs.
- State-of-the-Art Facilities: Shalamar Hospital is equipped with advanced surgical facilities and cutting-edge technology to support precise cancer diagnoses and perform complex surgical procedures. We prioritize patient safety, comfort, and well-being throughout the treatment journey.
- Patient Support: We understand that a cancer diagnosis can be overwhelming, and we are committed to supporting our patients throughout their journey. Our team provides comprehensive pre-operative counseling, post-operative follow-up, and ongoing support to ensure the best possible outcomes and quality of life.
