In which type of neoplasm is surgical removal the primary treatment?

Surgical removal is the primary treatment for soft tissue sarcomas due to the nature of these tumors, which are typically locally invasive but do not commonly spread through the bloodstream to distant sites at early stages. Complete surgical excision is often possible and can be curative if the tumor margins are clean. The goal in treating soft tissue sarcomas is to achieve a complete removal of the tumor with adequate surrounding healthy tissue, thereby minimizing the risk of recurrence.

In contrast, other neoplasms like hemangiosarcoma and lymphoma often require a combination of chemotherapy or radiation therapy, along with or instead of surgical intervention. Hemangiosarcoma, particularly when it is in a later stage or has metastasized, poses challenges that often necessitate medical therapy due to its aggressive nature. Lymphoma, being a hematological malignancy, primarily responds to systemic treatments such as chemotherapy rather than surgical methods.

Bone cancer may also be addressed surgically; however, due to the tendency of certain types to metastasize and the need for additional treatments, surgery is not usually the sole or primary approach. Each type of neoplasm has a specific treatment protocol based on its biology, which emphasizes the importance of identifying the type of tumor to determine the most
