Tumor Resection

Overview

Tumor resection is a critical surgical procedure aimed at removing tumors from various parts of the body, including the brain, lungs, liver, and other organs. At Apollo Hospitals Pune, we pride ourselves on our reputation for excellence in oncology care, utilizing advanced technology and innovative techniques to ensure the best possible outcomes for our patients.

With a focus on patient trust and satisfaction, we are committed to guiding you through every step of your treatment journey.

Why Tumor Resection is Necessary

Tumor resection is often necessary for several medical reasons. Primarily, it aims to remove cancerous growths, which can prevent the spread of cancer to other parts of the body. By excising the tumor, we can alleviate symptoms, improve the quality of life, and potentially extend survival rates. In some cases, tumor resection is also performed to obtain a biopsy for further analysis, helping to determine the most effective treatment plan. The benefits of this procedure extend beyond just cancer treatment; it can also relieve pressure on surrounding tissues and organs, leading to improved function and comfort.

Risks of Delay

Delaying tumor resection can have serious consequences. As tumors grow, they can invade surrounding tissues, making them more difficult to remove and increasing the risk of metastasis. This can lead to more complex treatment options, including chemotherapy or radiation therapy, which may not be as effective as early surgical intervention. Additionally, postponing surgery can result in worsening symptoms, such as pain or organ dysfunction, significantly impacting the patient's quality of life. At Apollo Hospitals Pune, we emphasize the importance of timely treatment and encourage patients to seek consultation as soon as a tumor is detected.

Undergoing tumor resection at Apollo Hospitals Pune offers numerous benefits. First and foremost, successful tumor removal can lead to a significant reduction in cancer symptoms, improving overall well-being. Patients often experience relief from pain, pressure, and other discomforts associated with tumors.

Choosing Apollo Hospitals Pune for your tumor resection means opting for a pathway to recovery backed by expertise and cutting-edge technology.

Preparation and Recovery

Preparing for tumor resection involves several important steps. First, patients should schedule a thorough consultation with our surgical team to discuss the procedure, potential risks, and expected outcomes. It is essential to provide a complete medical history and list of medications to ensure a safe surgical experience. Patients may be advised to undergo pre-operative tests, such as blood work or imaging studies, to assess their overall health.

On the day of surgery, patients should follow specific instructions regarding fasting and medication. After the procedure, recovery will vary depending on the type of surgery performed and the individual’s health. It is crucial to follow post-operative care instructions, including managing pain, attending follow-up appointments, and gradually resuming normal activities. Our dedicated nursing staff at Apollo Hospitals Pune will provide guidance and support throughout the recovery process, ensuring a smooth transition back to daily life.
