Cancer Surgery (Oncology) in Bhakkar

Dr. Shehryar Niazi offers surgical treatment for a range of cancers, using laparoscopic and robotic techniques where they suit the tumour. Each case is planned around the diagnosis, stage, and the patient's general health.

Cancer surgery access for the district

A cancer diagnosis in Bhakkar has usually meant becoming a traveller: months of trips to Lahore or Multan for every scan, opinion and procedure. The oncology service at Brigadier Shafiq Trust Hospital performs staging assessment and major cancer operations locally where the case and the patient's fitness allow, with complex referrals coordinated rather than left to the family to arrange.

Radical gastrectomy, debulking surgery, palliative bypass and the Whipple procedure are within the service's scope, performed by the same surgeon operating these cases in Lahore.

What palliative surgery is for

Not every cancer operation aims at cure. When a tumor blocks the stomach or bile duct, a bypass can restore eating and clear jaundice, buying comfortable months at home in the district instead of hospital ones far from it. Families weighing these decisions can discuss them honestly at the clinic on +92 318 7801855.

Frequently asked questions

Is every cancer treated with keyhole surgery?

No. The approach depends on the tumour type, its stage, and its location. Some cancers suit laparoscopic or robotic surgery, while others need an open operation. Dr. Shehryar Niazi decides after reviewing your imaging and biopsy.

Will I need treatment beyond surgery?

Some patients do and some do not. Surgery removes the tumour, and depending on the findings you may also need chemotherapy, radiotherapy, or ongoing monitoring. Your full plan is discussed with you after the diagnosis is confirmed.
