Overview
Tumor resection is the surgical removal of a neoplasm, undertaken to eliminate malignant or symptomatic benign tumors, establish histopathological diagnosis, relieve mass effect, or achieve local control as part of multimodal cancer therapy. The principal oncological aim is complete excision with adequate clear margins, since residual disease at the resection boundary predicts local recurrence; the extent of surgery is balanced against preservation of function in the affected organ. Resection strategy depends on tumor type, anatomical site, and stage, and on whether the lesion is localized, locally invasive, or accompanied by regional or distant metastases, which may shift management toward debulking, palliation, or combined approaches. Across diverse anatomical locations, including thoracic, intracranial, abdominal, head-and-neck, and soft-tissue sites, accurate preoperative characterization through imaging and tissue sampling guides the differential diagnosis and operative plan, and in selected intracranial tumors stereotactic radiosurgery offers a non-incisional alternative or adjunct, with target-volume definition supported by multimodality imaging. Surgical management is frequently integrated with systemic therapy and radiation, and decisions are individualized in complex presentations such as multiple or recurrent neoplasms. The journal publishes peer-reviewed clinical, surgical, and case-based oncology research describing the diagnosis, operative management, and outcomes of tumors across organ systems.
