Quizplus · Accepted Answer

This surgery is considered palliative, which means it is aimed at relieving symptoms or improving quality of life rather than curing the cancer. The removal of the small tumor that is compressing her small bowel is done to relieve her symptoms and improve her comfort, rather than as a curative measure.
