Radical Resection

Radical resection is a surgical procedure aimed at removing a tumor along with some surrounding healthy tissue to ensure all cancer cells are eliminated. This approach reduces the risk of the disease returning by taking out the tumor completely and any nearby tissue that might contain microscopic cancer cells. It is often used for cancers that are localized and hasn’t spread extensively. The procedure is carefully planned based on imaging and pathology to balance effective removal with preservation of function and structure. Ultimately, radical resection seeks to improve long-term outcomes by achieving the most thorough removal possible.
