Surgical Oncology
I am a surgical oncologist whose primary area of clinical and research interest is melanoma. In 1991, I introduced lymph-node mapping and sentinel lymph-node biopsy for melanoma and other selected skin cancers. Together, these procedures can determine during surgery whether a tumor has spread to surrounding lymph nodes. Using lymph node mapping, we can pinpoint the precise lymph node into which a nearby tumor is likely to travel first (called the sentinel node). If a biopsy of the sentinel node indicates cancer spread, the surrounding lymph nodes are removed. But if there is no evidence of cancer in the sentinel node, patients are spared from additional lymph node surgery.

Surgical oncology is a type of oncology, or the study of cancer, that seeks to diagnose or treat cancer and non-cancerous tumors through surgical means. Often, radiation and chemotherapy treatments won’t be able to remove cancer that presents itself in a patient’s body. In these cases, surgery can be a viable solution that helps patients beat their cancer and recover their strength. These doctors have gone through extensive study to gain the knowledge to properly perform surgery on cancer patients
