Radical surgery, also called radical dissection, refers to the removal of blood supply, lymph nodes and sometimes adjacent structures of a diseased organ or tumor during surgery. In surgical oncology, radical surgery typically describes the removal of a tumor or mass and ancillary lymph nodes that may drain the mass for diagnostic and/or treatment purposes, as in radical mastectomy.
