Curative Resection

Curative resection is a type of cancer surgery in which the complete cancer-containing part of the organ is removed. The aim of this procedure is to ensure that all cancerous tissue is removed while preserving the functionality of the organ. It is used to treat cancer-containing organs such as the liver, lung, stomach and rectum and it is particularly beneficial in the early stages of cancer when the tumor is small. Curative resection can provide a more effective, durable treatment option and improve survival outcomes when compared with other treatments, such as chemotherapy and radiotherapy.
