Surgical oncology is the branch of surgery which focuses on the surgical management of cancer. The specialty of surgical oncology has evolved in steps similar to medical oncology which grew out of hematology, and radiation oncology which grew out of radiology. This area of expertise is coming to its own by the success of combined treatments with chemotherapy, radiation, and targeted biologic treatments.
