Does surgery make cancer spread?
No, surgery does not usually make cancer spread. Cancer spreads due to its stage, type and natural growth—not because the tumour is removed. The aim of surgery is to remove the cancer safely with a clear margin around it.
For suitable oral or throat tumours, Dr Smit A. Desai may use minimally invasive surgery to limit damage to nearby healthy tissue. Endoscopic surgery allows certain difficult-to-reach areas to be viewed and treated through natural openings. In selected cases, minimally invasive endoscopic surgery may support precise tumour removal and faster recovery.
Patients looking for minimally invasive surgery in India can consult Dr Smit for proper diagnosis and an individual treatment plan.
Conclusion
Surgery is a proven cancer treatment and does not normally cause cancer to spread. Early
