Surgical Oncology in Tekirdağ

Surgical oncology is the branch of surgery dedicated to the treatment of cancer. For most solid organ tumours, surgery remains the foundation of curative treatment, with chemotherapy, radiotherapy and targeted therapies supporting that foundation.

Prof. Tamer Sağıroğlu, MD, brings more than 35 years of professional experience to his practice in Süleymanpaşa, Tekirdağ. The decision to operate, the extent of the operation and its timing are planned individually for each patient.

Where Success in Cancer Surgery Begins

Success is not measured only by removing the tumour; it begins with planning the operation correctly. Before surgery, advanced radiological imaging is used to determine which vessels supply the tumour, which vessels and organs it borders, and whether there is vascular involvement. This analysis makes patient-specific surgical planning possible.

Areas Covered

Gastric cancer surgery — total/subtotal gastrectomy with D2 lymph node dissection
Colon cancer surgery — laparoscopic and open resection with oncological lymphadenectomy
Rectal cancer surgery — sphincter-preserving approaches based on TME principles
Pancreatic surgery — Whipple procedure, distal pancreatectomy
Liver metastasis surgery — simultaneous resection guided by intraoperative ultrasound
HIPEC — hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy for peritoneal spread

A Multidisciplinary Approach

Cancer treatment is never directed by a single physician. Medical oncology, radiology, pathology and radiation oncology assess each case together, and the sequence and method of treatment follow from that joint decision. In selected patients, genetic and molecular testing helps personalise the treatment plan.

Second Surgical Opinion

Being told that surgery is not possible is not always the final word. Assessments of surgical eligibility rest on the interpretation of imaging and can differ between centres; the picture may also change after preoperative chemotherapy. You are welcome to request a second opinion so that your imaging can be reviewed by an experienced team.
