Cytoreductive surgery is typically recommended when a patient has been diagnosed with an advanced form of cancer, especially when chemotherapy or other treatments alone may not be enough to address the extent of the disease. The surgery can also be beneficial when tumors are causing obstructions or symptoms that interfere with a patient’s quality of life, such as bowel or urinary issues. In these cases, reducing the tumor load can provide significant relief. Dr. Rahul Modi evaluates each patient thoroughly to decide the best course of action, taking into account the cancer's stage, location, and the patient’s overall health. If you believe cytoreductive surgery might be an option for you, he is available to offer a detailed consultation and guide you through the next steps.
