Scope?

I am not an expert in medicine, but I'm pretty sure "debulking" does not refer only to tumor removal. For example, in the treatment of Klippel-Trénaunay-Weber syndrome, "debulking" can refer to removal of parts of hypertrophied limbs, etc. Is there anyone who's an expert and who can clarify the wording in this article so it's not so tumor-specific? rʨanaɢ ^talk/_contribs 13:56, 26 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Wording could use improvement

The last sentence in the first paragraph, "...to shift tumor cells from phase of cell cycle to replicative pool" seems incomplete and/or doesn't make sense to my non-medical ear. (I followed the rest of the article.) Could someone who understands this reword this sentence? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jwarhol (talk • contribs) 22:53, 24 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
