Q101 (NDA-II/2019) Science & Technology › Biotechnology & Health › Cancer and cell biology

A four-year-old girl got a new lease of life after doctors at a hospital _ a cancerous tumour from one of her kidneys.

Result
Your answer: —  ·  Correct: B
Explanation

The correct term for the surgical procedure described is 'removed'. In medical practice, the primary treatment for kidney tumors involves surgical removal to ensure the patient's survival. This procedure is known as a nephrectomy, which can be 'partial' (removing only the tumor and a small portion of the kidney) or 'radical' (removing the entire kidney) [1]. Surgical methods are standard for treating cancerous growths and are considered safe in the long run when performed correctly [1]. The other options are contextually incorrect: 'rejuvenated' implies restoration of youth, 'displaced' means moved out of position, and 'replaced' would refer to a transplant rather than the excision of a tumor. Therefore, 'removed' is the most appropriate term for a surgeon's action regarding a cancerous tumor [1].
