QUESTION

An example of Radical surgery?

OPTIONS

(A) Fracture repair
(B) Removal of neoplasm
(C) Neurectomies
(D) Caesarean section

ANSWER

(B) Removal of neoplasm

EXPLANATION

Radical surgery removes diseased tissue broadly to achieve control of a serious lesion, as when a neoplasm is excised with appropriate margins. Fracture repair preserves a limb, neurectomy interrupts a nerve, and cesarean section delivers a fetus; they are not the tumor-removal example of radical excision.
