Surgical Oncology at YUTI Clinics
Specialist Support in Cancer Diagnosis, Staging, and Surgical Treatment
What is Surgical Oncology?
Surgical Oncology is the branch of medicine focused on the surgical management of cancer — including the removal of tumors, cancer staging, biopsy procedures, and supportive surgeries related to cancer treatment.
Surgical oncologists are trained to work as part of a multi-disciplinary team alongside medical oncologists (chemotherapy), radiation oncologists, pathologists, and palliative care specialists. At YUTI Clinics, our goal is to provide early evaluation, pre-surgical counselling, and post-operative care for patients facing a cancer diagnosis or requiring oncologic surgery. We ensure that every patient receives clear, compassionate, and coordinated care.
Signs and Symptoms That May Require Oncology Evaluation
Symptoms vary depending on the type and location of cancer. Some common signs that may prompt evaluation include:
Unexplained weight loss
Persistent fatigue or weakness
Lumps or swelling in the breast, neck, or groin
Chronic cough, hoarseness, or breathlessness
Changes in bowel or bladder habits
Non-healing ulcers or sores
Bleeding between periods or after menopause
Blood in stool or urine
Pain that doesn’t improve with usual treatment
Family history of cancer with early symptoms
It is important to understand that early-stage cancers may show no symptoms, making regular screenings and proactive evaluations even more critical.

What Causes Cancer?
Cancer develops due to abnormal cell growth and division, often triggered by a combination of genetic, lifestyle, and environmental factors, including:
Family history of cancer or inherited gene mutations
Tobacco use, alcohol consumption
Obesity and sedentary lifestyle
Exposure to carcinogens or radiation
Viral infections (e.g., HPV, Hepatitis B/C)
Hormonal imbalances or chronic inflammation
Poor dietary patterns and chronic stress
Understanding these causes helps in risk assessment, early detection, and personalized treatment planning.
