By Dr. Aun Jamal
Cancer care has evolved into one of the most complex and multidisciplinary fields in modern medicine. Among its many pillars — surgery, chemotherapy, immunotherapy, and radiotherapy — surgery remains the most effective and frequently used modality for the cure of solid tumors. Surgical oncology focuses not only on removing cancerous tissue but also on ensuring long-term disease control, minimizing recurrence, and preserving quality of life.
Dr. Aun Jamal, a distinguished Surgical Oncologist and Advanced Laparoscopic Surgeon, has devoted his career to advancing cancer surgery in Pakistan. With dual fellowship training in surgical oncology and memberships in the Royal College of Surgeons of Glasgow and Edinburgh, he brings international standards of expertise to local patients. His vision combines technical mastery, minimally invasive techniques, and patient-centered care, positioning him as one of the leading cancer surgeons in the country.
Surgical oncology is a specialized branch of surgery that deals with the diagnosis, staging, and surgical treatment of cancer. Unlike general surgery, it requires a deep understanding of tumor biology, cancer spread, and systemic management. Surgical oncologists are trained to perform highly complex procedures, often involving multiple organ systems, while coordinating care with medical oncologists, radiation oncologists, and other specialists.
The primary goals of surgical oncology are to:
Remove tumors completely with safe margins.
Preserve organ function wherever possible.
Reduce tumor burden to enhance the effectiveness of other treatments like chemotherapy and radiotherapy.
Improve survival outcomes and quality of life.
For Dr. Aun Jamal, surgical oncology is more than just removing cancer. It is about providing hope, dignity, and long-term well-being to patients and their families.
One of Dr. Aun Jamal’s key strengths lies in managing redo surgeries — cases where cancer has recurred after previous treatment. These surgeries are among the most challenging in surgical practice because of scar tissue, altered anatomy, and higher complication risks. Dr. Jamal frequently receives such referrals from across Pakistan and abroad, reflecting his trusted expertise.
Cancers of the stomach, colon, rectum, and esophagus are rising in incidence, particularly among younger populations in South Asia. Using both open and laparoscopic approaches, Dr. Jamal performs:
Laparoscopic colectomy for colorectal cancers
Gastric cancer resections while preserving digestive continuity
Minimally invasive esophagectomy for esophageal cancers
These procedures demand high technical precision, as they involve vital structures and require careful lymph node dissections for accurate staging.
Breast cancer is the most common cancer in women in Pakistan, while thyroid malignancies are increasing due to better diagnostics. Dr. Jamal’s expertise includes:
Breast-conserving surgery for early cases
Modified radical mastectomy where necessary
Sentinel lymph node biopsies for accurate staging
Thyroidectomy for thyroid cancers, performed with precision to avoid complications like voice changes or calcium imbalance
Cancers of the ovaries, uterus, and cervix require a highly coordinated approach involving oncologists and gynecologists. Dr. Jamal specializes in:
Ovarian cancer debulking
Total laparoscopic hysterectomy for uterine cancer
Complex pelvic surgeries for advanced cases
Dr. Jamal is among the few surgeons in Pakistan actively performing surgeries for sarcomas — rare cancers that arise from muscles, bones, and connective tissue. These cases often require retroperitoneal resections and multidisciplinary planning to ensure complete tumor clearance while minimizing organ damage.
For many cancers, surgery remains the only potentially curative treatment. Chemotherapy and radiotherapy can control disease, shrink tumors, or prevent recurrence, but removing the tumor surgically is still the cornerstone of cure.
The field of surgical oncology is also critical because:
It provides accurate staging, guiding subsequent treatment decisions.
It allows for tissue sampling and biopsy, confirming diagnosis.
It integrates with other specialties to provide multimodal cancer care.
In Pakistan, where many cancers are diagnosed late, having a surgeon skilled in both curative and palliative surgeries is essential to improving survival and quality of life.
Using advanced laparoscopic techniques, Dr. Aun Jamal is able to minimize surgical trauma, reduce hospital stays, and improve long-term oncological outcomes.
He collaborates with medical oncologists, radiologists, and pathologists to ensure holistic treatment plans, integrating surgery with chemotherapy and radiotherapy as required.
Beyond technical expertise, Dr. Jamal prioritizes open communication with patients and families, ensuring they fully understand the diagnosis, treatment options, risks, and expected outcomes.
With over 30+ national and international publications and participation in global clinical trials, Dr. Jamal not only practices surgical oncology but also contributes to advancing the science behind it.
Expertise in Complex Cases – Redo surgeries, recurrent cancers, and rare tumors.
Minimally Invasive Advantage – Laparoscopic surgery for faster recovery and less pain.
Oncological Safety – Wide resections with safe margins and complete tumor clearance.
Patient Education & Mentorship – Empowering patients and mentoring future surgeons.
Surgical oncology is the backbone of modern cancer treatment, and in the skilled hands of Dr. Aun Jamal, it becomes more than just a surgical procedure — it is a pathway to hope, healing, and improved survival. By blending internationally recognized expertise, advanced minimally invasive techniques, and a deep commitment to patient care, Dr. Jamal has established himself as a trusted name in oncology in Pakistan.
For patients facing the daunting journey of cancer, Dr. Aun Jamal’s approach ensures they are not only treated with surgical excellence but also guided with compassion, dignity, and clarity at every step.
Surgical oncology is a specialized branch of surgery focused on the treatment of cancer. Unlike general surgery, it requires in-depth knowledge of tumor biology, cancer staging, and advanced techniques to ensure complete removal of cancer with safe margins. A surgical oncologist like Dr. Aun Jamal is trained to handle complex and recurrent cancers while working closely with other specialists such as oncologists and radiologists.
Not every cancer requires immediate surgery. The decision depends on the type, size, stage, and spread of the tumor. After thorough imaging and biopsy, Dr. Aun Jamal evaluates whether surgery is the best option or whether it should be combined with chemotherapy or radiotherapy for maximum effectiveness.
While laparoscopic surgery offers faster recovery and less pain, it may not be suitable for every case. Factors such as the location, size of the tumor, and stage of cancer determine whether a minimally invasive approach is possible. Dr. Aun Jamal carefully assesses each patient to recommend the safest and most effective surgical option.
Recovery time varies depending on the type of surgery performed. In general, patients undergoing laparoscopic cancer surgery experience shorter hospital stays, reduced pain, and quicker return to daily activities compared to open surgery. However, more extensive operations for advanced cancers may require longer recovery. Dr. Aun Jamal and his team provide detailed recovery guidelines tailored to each patient.
In many cases, surgery alone is not enough to ensure complete cancer control. Depending on the tumor type and stage, Dr. Aun Jamal may recommend adjuvant treatments such as chemotherapy, radiotherapy, or immunotherapy. These treatments help reduce the risk of recurrence and improve survival outcomes.
Unfortunately, some cancers can recur even after successful surgery. This is why surgical oncologists emphasize safe surgical margins and recommend follow-up treatments when necessary. Dr. Aun Jamal also schedules regular post-surgery check-ups, imaging, and blood tests to detect recurrence early and intervene promptly.
