Cytoreductive surgery is a procedure aimed at removing as much of the tumor as possible from the body, particularly for cancers that have spread to multiple organs, such as ovarian, colorectal, or peritoneal cancer. The goal is to reduce the tumor burden and improve the effectiveness of subsequent treatments like chemotherapy. The benefits of cytoreductive surgery include reducing the spread of cancer, improving survival rates, and enhancing the impact of chemotherapy, which can target any remaining cancer cells more effectively. The time taken for the surgery varies depending on the complexity and extent of the cancer but typically lasts several hours, with recovery taking weeks. Symptoms that may suggest the need for cytoreductive surgery include persistent abdominal pain, unexplained weight loss, bloating, or changes in bowel habits. Dr. Rahul Modi is a skilled practitioner of cytoreductive surgery, offering patients a tailored approach to effectively reduce cancer and improve their overall prognosis.
