TREATMENT
Treatment approaches for cancer include:
- Chemo and radiotherapy
- Minimally invasive surgery
- Surgical techniques that preserve nerve and organ function
- Radical surgery, only if necessary for advanced cancer. For radical surgery, our surgeons often use free-tissue transfer and microvascular techniques to reconstruct bone, soft tissue and nerves.
- For patients with advanced cancer, we offer innovative treatments that can improve survival and preserve appearance and function.
