Tumor Removal Surgery

Tumor removal surgery is a medical procedure aimed at excising abnormal growths (tumors) from the body. This surgery is often performed to treat cancer but can also address benign (non-cancerous) tumors. During the operation, a surgeon makes an incision near the tumor, carefully removes it along with some surrounding tissue to ensure all cancerous cells are eliminated, and then closes the incision. The goal is to stop the spread of the disease, relieve symptoms, and improve the patient's health. Recovery can vary, and further treatment, like chemotherapy or radiation, may be necessary afterward.
