tumor excision
Cutting out masses
Tumor excision is the surgical removal of a tumor from the body.
The procedure aims to extract the abnormal growth along with a margin of healthy tissue to ensure complete removal.
Surgeons speak of wide excision when removing substantial surrounding tissue, or excision with clean margins when no cancer cells are found at the edges of the removed specimen.
