If only there was a method to extract the entire tumor without having a biopsy... that would be great. I can't help but feel however that medicine is still quite primitive.
If the most competent, renowned, pioneering surgical oncologist provided a biopsy and some cancer spread we all would say, "this is common and expected". If a so-so surgical onc did the procedure and the cancer spread, then we would say "what a lousy doctor".
As long as we have poison (a.k.a., chemotherapy) and radiation and surgery, cancer treatment probably won't improve in the biopsy part of it for some while.
