Tumours diagnosed as cancerous?

Question

Question:

a) What is an operable tumour?

b) What is an inoperable tumour?

c) A tumour must have a blood supply - is it by way of capilliaries or veins?

d) How do secondries occur, which seems to happen a lot after operating?

e) If the blood supply is cut off before tumour is removed, can cancer cells still enter the blood supply to cause these secondries?

I dont have a tumour, but I have tried to research on the net and I need a straightforward explanatation in simple English.

Answer 1

a.) usually a small, not centrally located in a vital organ tumor removable thru surgery
b.) usually too large, growing into areas that cannot be safely entered or removed w/o seriously risking the life of the patient on the operating table
c.) arteries - oxygenated blood, capilliaries - small but large area of blood supply, veins - deoxygenated blood, all possible
d.) do you mean 'secondary' tumors? these tumors have metastasized meaning that they originate somewhere else in the body, then some cancerous cells travel thru the bloodstream to another area and proceed to grow there as well
e.) since the human blood supply to a certain body part is so dense, it is nearly impossible to completely cut off the supply to the area & keep its function, usually to completely stop blood flow is to remove the affected region
Good luck on ur research

Answer 2

I'll take the part I know.

A. an operable cancer can be operated on, to remove it, via surgery.
B. An inoperable cancer is either so intermingled with critical organs or is so large that it can not be removed surgically - it can not be operated on.

Answer 3

a= a tumor that can be operated on. b= a tumor they cant be operated on. c=tumors are feed by the blood. d=because the cancer cells sometimes spread to other parts of the body through the blood.. e= yes

Answer 4

all in all cancer is not a desiese it is only a defect
