Orthopaedic Surgeon,  's  Response
Welcome to Healthcare Magic
Surgery is definitely needed if it is not severe cancer and which has not spread. If slight spread of cancer to lymph nodes, radiotherapy and chemotherapy may be necessary to bring remission. Diabetic has more chance of infections. Blood sugar and blood pressure needs to be controlled before surgery.
