Dr. Cynthia Anderson answered

Specializes in Radiation Oncology

It depends: As long as the surgery is done in a few weeks, it should be ok. What is the reason for the delay? If the delay is b/c the patient needs to undergo more testing, then it is better to complete the testing before undergoing surgery.
