Like if you detect it early enough, I know you can remove it. But what is the point that it can’t just be removed, and why?
In: Biology
Sometimes it’s a part of something that can’t be removed. Think pancreas, or you can’t reach it like the middle of the brain. Sometimes it’s spread so much it’s on so many places that you can’t get them all or can’t handle that much surgery. Also sometimes they do remove it and think its gone, but a new tumor pops up somewhere else because a teeny clump we couldn’t see hung out in a lymph node and found a new spot to grow.
In a perfect situation, you would just cut it all out, but rarely is it a perfect situation. Sometimes they do chemo anyway after cutting it all out to make sure that a teeny clump doesn’t hide somewhere.
