Frequently Asked Questions

Max Hospital offers a wide range of cancer surgeries, including tumour removal, reconstructive surgery, organ-sparing procedures, and minimally invasive surgeries such as laparoscopic and robotic-assisted techniques.

Your oncologist will determine if surgery is necessary based on factors like tumour type, size, location, and stage. In some cases, surgery is the primary treatment, while in others, it may be combined with chemotherapy or radiation therapy.

Recovery time varies depending on the type of surgery, your overall health, and post-operative care. While some minimally invasive procedures allow for a quicker recovery, complex surgeries may require weeks to months for full healing.

Before surgery, your doctor will conduct tests, including blood tests and imaging scans, to evaluate your condition. You may also need to follow specific dietary and medication guidelines before the procedure.

Yes, Max Hospital encourages patients to seek second opinions to ensure they are comfortable with their treatment plan. Our specialists are available for consultations to discuss your case.

Eligibility depends on the type, size, and location of the tumour, as well as your overall health. Your surgeon will assess whether robotic-assisted surgery is a suitable option for you.

Pain is managed effectively with anaesthesia during surgery and medications afterward. Your doctor will create a pain management plan tailored to your needs.

The timeline varies based on the type of surgery. Some patients may resume light activities within a few weeks, while others require longer recovery periods.

Not necessarily. Some cancers require chemotherapy or radiation before surgery to shrink the tumour, while others are treated primarily with surgery. Your treatment plan will be customised based on your condition.

In many cases, surgery is combined with chemotherapy, radiation, or targeted therapy. Your oncologist will design a post-surgery treatment plan based on your specific condition.

Follow-up care includes regular check-ups, imaging scans, and blood tests to monitor recovery and detect any recurrence early. Rehabilitation and lifestyle modifications may also be recommended.

While cancer surgery is generally safe, risks can include infection, bleeding, scarring, or complications specific to the procedure. Our surgeons take all precautions to minimise risks and ensure optimal outcomes.

Success depends on multiple factors, including cancer type, stage, and overall health. Early-stage cancers often have higher success rates, and combining surgery with other treatments can improve long-term outcomes.

No, cancer surgery does not cause cancer to spread. In fact, it is a key method for removing tumours and preventing further spread. However, in advanced cases, additional treatments may be needed to target any remaining cancer cells.

There is always a possibility of recurrence, which is why follow-up care is essential. Regular monitoring and adherence to post-surgical treatment plans can help detect and manage any recurrence early.
