Episode Description:
It sounds obvious, right?
If you remove tumor tissue… outcomes should improve.
That’s been a long-standing belief in colorectal cancer treatment, and cancer treatment in general.
But a new, well-designed colorectal cancer trial just tested that idea—and the results were surprising.
In this breakdown, Dr. Chaplin walks through:
• what the study actually tested
• why surgery didn’t improve outcomes
• and when it does still make sense
This is one of those moments where “common sense” doesn’t match cancer biology.
