About the specialty

Cancer surgery is used in the treatment of many cancers, alone or combined with other treatments. Its aim is in particular to remove the tumour and, depending on the case, the lymph nodes involved.

The treatment strategy is defined by the medical team on the basis of the patient’s file. Polycrabat Sevamed facilitates referral to the appropriate surgeon and coordination with the other disciplines involved.

  • Breast cancers
  • Gynaecological cancers
  • Urological cancers

Types of procedures and techniques

The techniques used and their indication are decided by the doctor, case by case. As a general guide:

  • Removal of the tumour
  • Lymph node dissection when indicated
  • Reconstructive surgery after removal
  • Surgery for metastatic disease depending on the indication
