If you have a choice of surgeons, start by looking for someone who has treated this form of cancer. The questions you might ask when choosing a surgeon include:

  • How often do you perform this type of surgery?
  • How many of these procedures have you performed?
  • What's the overall success rate for this type of surgery?
  • What's the success rate for those surgeries that you've performed?
