Dr. Gulia believes in "Organ Preservation" and "Quality of Life." He advocates for non-surgical cures for cancers like Larynx (Voice Box) and Prostate whenever possible, ensuring patients retain their natural functions. He dedicates time to explain why radiation might be a superior option to surgery for specific early-stage cancers.
