A member asked:
Since cancer cells induce cell signaling to increase growth factors in early stages, can that region of cancer be contained and aspirated to survive?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Please clarify.: Are you asking if we can contain the growth of cancers by aspirating them? As a surgeon, we work on a much more macroscopic level: if there is a cancer present, we surgically remove the tumor to contain it's growth.
