A member asked:
Large cancer tumor on knee back two years after major surgery on it. 87 y.o. will cancer not spread faster if they don't get it all?

It depends: Most bony tumors are often resectable with the likelihood of a cure. And if this was just a big chondrosarcoma, even if some tumor was knowingly or inadvertantly left behind, they are usually super-slow growers.
