Surgical Oncology & Multidisciplinary Planning in Udaipur
Surgical consultation and peri-operative radiation/chemotherapy integration for solid tumor resections. Managed under the clinical leadership of Dr. Narendra Rathore (Professor & Head of Radiation Oncology) at MB Hospital Campus, RNT Medical College, Udaipur.
Medical Overview & Clinical Background
Surgery plays a primary role in staging, diagnosing, and curing solid malignant tumors. Dr. Narendra Rathore collaborates closely with surgical oncologists at MB Hospital, Udaipur, providing integrated pre-operative (neoadjuvant) and post-operative (adjuvant) radiation and chemotherapy planning.
Understanding the Disease & Treatment Mechanics
Multidisciplinary tumor board evaluation ensures surgery is timed perfectly alongside radiation and systemic therapy. Neoadjuvant therapy shrinks large or locally advanced tumors, converting previously inoperable masses into surgically resectable cases while enabling organ-preservation. Post-surgical adjuvant therapy targets microscopic residual cells based on histopathological margin and lymph node status.
Treatment Approach & Clinical Protocols
Patients preparing for surgical resection undergo complete staging scans (CT/PET-CT) and tissue biopsy review. Following surgery, Dr. Rathore conducts detailed evaluations of the operative note, pathology report (margins, lymphovascular invasion, perineural invasion), and surgical drain recovery before initiating post-operative radiation or chemotherapy.
Common Indications & Applications
- Breast Conserving Surgery & Radical Mastectomy planning
- Head and neck radical resections & neck dissections
- Gastrointestinal tumor resections (stomach, colon, rectum, gallbladder)
- Gynecological radical hysterectomies

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: When should post-operative radiation therapy start after surgery?
Radiation therapy typically begins 4 to 6 weeks after surgery, once surgical incisions have healed completely and drain tubes have been removed.
Q: What does 'clear surgical margins' mean in a biopsy report?
Clear surgical margins mean no cancer cells were visible at the outer rim of the removed tissue, indicating the surgeon successfully removed all visible tumor.
Q: Why is pre-operative (neoadjuvant) treatment sometimes better than operating immediately?
Neoadjuvant therapy shrinks large tumors, making surgery safer, easier, and increasing the chance of preserving healthy surrounding organs.
