I know there’s a reason, but I don’t know what it is.

Think of a tumor like a giant scab covering a wound that you can tell has healed but is still stuck on. You can’t just tear it off, you’ll open the wound and will bleed a lot, so instead what you do is wipe on some hydrogen peroxide (chemo/radiation or similar treatment) to slowly dissolve the edges and soften it up. You continue to do this over and over until you can carefully remove the entire thing without damaging the surrounding area. Then apply a little more in order to clean up the area and make sure there isn’t any scab you missed that could cause problems later.
