Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Serosal seeding refers to the spread of cancer cells to the lining of the internal organs, which can occur through direct manipulation of the tumor or procedures that breach the tumor's integrity, such as biopsies. Thus, focusing on minimizing invasive procedures like biopsies and careful handling of the tumor during surgery can help reduce the risk of serosal seeding. External beam radiation, brachytherapy, and the use of pressure bandages postoperatively do not directly contribute to the risk of serosal seeding in the same manner.
