Cancer Surgery (Oncology) in Lahore

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.

Surgical oncology at Farooq Hospital DHA

Cancer surgery is where preparation shows. Staging scans are reviewed, fitness is assessed, and the operation is planned as one step in a treatment sequence that may also involve chemotherapy or radiotherapy through the treating oncologist. Dr. Shehryar Niazi's oncological caseload spans stomach, liver, pancreas and biliary surgery including the Whipple procedure, debulking for ovarian and peritoneal disease, retroperitoneal lymph node dissection and palliative bypass.

Within his 27,000 plus laparoscopic case volume, minimally invasive technique is applied to cancer work wherever it does not compromise clearance, because oncological safety outranks small incisions every time.

Second opinions are welcome

A cancer diagnosis buys the right to ask twice. Patients regularly come to the Lahore clinic with scans and biopsy slides from elsewhere, seeking a view on whether surgery is possible or worthwhile. Bring everything you have; the reports get read before the operating is discussed.

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.
