A general surgeon is a medical professional who performs surgery on patients. General surgeons typically perform common surgeries and have attended college and medical school to learn the skills needed to perform them successfully. They also care for their patients before and after operations and can give an accurate prognosis after the surgery is complete and the patient has had time to heal.
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
