Minimally Invasive Cancer Treatment: Less Surgery, Faster Recovery, Better Lives

• Cancer surgery shifts from "more is better" to "less is more," focusing on precise tissue removal for better healing and survival.
• Laparoscopic and robotic-assisted surgeries offer precision with smaller incisions, less blood loss, and quicker recovery.
• Organ conservation surgery, combined with radiotherapy or neoadjuvant treatments, preserves organs in select early-stage cancers.
• Systemic treatments (chemo, targeted, immuno) before surgery shrink tumors, making procedures safer and less extensive.
• Advanced imaging and enhanced recovery protocols further improve outcomes, but conservative surgery is limited by late presentation or constraints.
