| This surgery is used for small to moderate-size tumors with known LOCAL INVASION? | Wide excision |
| This surgery is used for small tumors with only local tissue invasion? | Wide local excision (RADICAL) |
| This surgery is used for small, localized tumors? | local excision |
| Removing part of the tumor and leaving a known amount of gross tumor is known as this? | DeBULKing |
| Cytoreductive surgery is another name for this type of surgery? | DeBulking |
| This type of surgery alone cannot result in a cure, but decreases the number of cancer cells and increases the chances that other therapies can be successful? | Control (Cytoreductive Surgery) also known as "debulking" |
