Surgical oncology involves the removal of cancerous tumors and, in selected cases, nearby tissues or lymph nodes that may be affected by the disease.

Dr. Nadia Farzana Islam's focus on Surgical Oncology brings together cancer surgery, clinical assessment and academic medicine. Patients requiring specialist evaluation for cancer-related surgical treatment may benefit from consultation to understand their diagnosis, available procedures and the role of surgery within their broader treatment plan.
