Cytoreductive surgery focuses on removing the visible parts of the tumor, leaving behind only the microscopic cells. If the tumor has spread into other organs, it may be necessary to surgically remove those organs in order to free the affected area of the tumor. The gallbladder, spleen, part of the small or large intestine, and the lining of the abdominal wall (peritoneum) are some of the organs that may be removed. As the name suggests, debulking refers to reducing the bulk. In this case, reducing the bulk of the cancerous tumors. Since chemotherapy isn’t able to go past large and bulky tumors, debulking cytoreductive surgery may be suggested to the patients in order to increase the efficiency of chemotherapy. The goal of this surgery is to remove as much visible cancer as possible from the bulk of the cancerous tumor and to ensure that there aren’t any remaining nodules that measure more than 2 centimeters in diameter. This surgery is especially recommended and may prove effective for patients who are in the advanced stage of cancer. Get the best consultation for Cytoreductive Surgery by Dr. Suresh K Singla Today.
