Surgery

Surgery may aim to remove all, or part of a tumour. The effects of the surgery will depend on the part of the body being operated on and the extent of the surgery. Some operations for cancer may be carried out as day surgery, which may mean that you only have a short period of time required for recovery, others are much longer and may mean spending a few weeks or even months recovering.
